Printing your Digital pics

I print at home using photoshop and lexmark printer.

Cost is slightly cheaper (photo paper and print cartridge) but the biggest advantage is I print when I want, and controls the size. There are probably other cool photoshop features I haven’t used either.

My own problem is: even after using lexmark paper (might be a scam that all printer makers say their paper is optimized for their printer), I find dry time a real problem. Unlike real photo-processing, the ink doesn’t dry out completely, and feels still gluey even aft a week. That means I can’t insert them into albums including those special non-stick celluphane. They still stick.

Any advice? I thought of buying dark-room squeegy thingy that one wipes over developed photos. Need advice. Thank you.
