Printing with the Epson ET-16650 is excellent. It is important to adjust the paper settings according to the paper you are using. I have never had smudged ink.

That is also my experience of Thomasgasc. I am very satisfied with the ink. The refill ink package says: Fast-drying, waterproof and light-resistant documents in professional quality.

I have been using this device in the shop since January 2021: I am very satisfied all round - also with the quality of the very fertile original ink. Quite the opposite of my old "professional" BROTHER inkjet printer, whose original ink sometimes smears a little.

The EPSON only scans comfortably. And you shouldn't print borderless photos on normal paper, as it will curl: So use at least 120 g/m2 paper and configure the appropriate print setting.

My experience with this model: ink is - once dry - very smudge-proof; e.g. printed pictures on plain paper can be safely held under the tap for a short time, nothing will smear.
