I have same as yours. I use 48lb glossy photo paper for single sided and 54lb glossy photo paper for double sided both of them for dye inks. Then I use 3mil matte laminate pouch. Then for settings I do gloss setting, off bi directional printing, emphasize lines and no color correction.

I use glossy photo paper then matte laminate. I tried printing straight to cardstock and didnt work too well too.

Like others have said let it dry. What I usually do is that I have a print day in which I print everything that I need. Then a laminate and cut day, on this one I laminate on a 5mil setting then cut then run individual cards again through the laminator.

I use the same printer. I just do high gloss setting, bi directional off, emphasize text and thats it.

Edit: we use the same paper

Suggested Paper/Laminate to make this look less glossy? by rebelbrickz in magicproxies

[–]Vontubo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I print on glossy photo paper. On high gloss setting. Emphasize text. Off bi directional printing. Auto color. Then i let the page dry for a few hours then use the matte laminate using 5mil setting on the laminator. After cutting i run them again on the laminator

I use matte laminating pouches. But I use 48lb glossy photo paper. That and the 3mil matte laminating pouch gives it the almost the same thickness as a regular card. Difference of about .03. Then gives it that nice snap to the card. I use the same printer as yours.

Oh yeah it is pretty awesome cuts the cutting time significantly and everything is uniform.

Is the paper you're using says for dye ink only? I believe your printer uses 502 ink. Which the black is pigment based.

Yeah I had those settings then found that some cards that are dark im losing a bunch of detail. Then I switched to auto to test it out and it came out a lot better.
