I think you know what I mean.

My R1800 will make smudgy prints on
Epson Glossy Photo Paper (eg.,
S041649) but on Premium Glossy
Photo Paper (S041667) smudging is
no problem.

Each manufacturer (with the possible
exception of Lexmark) makes a line
of papers to match specific printers
and inks in their product line.

See Epson's paper-compatibility
chart, for example, here;
