Irritated and stressed!

To save money, I decided to opt out of professional printing of addresses on my invitations and print them myself. Before I decided to do this I did two whole sets (all 3 envelopes) with no problems! Now, my printer is making black marks all over every envelope I try to print!!!! (I am not even using black)

Not sure where to go from here! And I am pretty sure crying won't fix a thing. I have tried to align print heads, clean nozzles and replace ink cartridges.

Any suggestions?

    Maybe the ink cartridge isn't inserted correctly?  Have you tried printing just a regular document to see if it does then too?  My print has this lever inside that has to be lifted so that the envelopes feed through the printer properly.  Maybe there is something like that on your printer too.  Good luck!

    Yastalen made a good point about trying on a normal piece of paper to see if it is doing it on there too. If not then maybe the envelopes are too thick. Hope things start looking up and u find the problem.

    I has this problem when I tried to print my addresses on my envelopes with an inkjet printer. Thankfully, FI has a laser printer and they came out fine. Do you somebody who has a laser you can use?
    It doesn't have to be perfect to be everything I want!

    It prints beautifully on regular paper (no black marks anywhere) ! I have successfully printed on all 3 envelopes previously. I tested all of them a couple times and made the templates before placing the order because the other option was for the stationer to print them. Now that it's time to actually print I am having a hard time... I am going to check all of my settings once more then off to buy a laser printer!!!! Thanks everyone!!! It's so nice to know there are such lovely ladies who will take a minute to help a fellow bride! So proud of this board!
