Why was the word ‘wet’ there at all? Toner’s not ever wet, it doesn’t dry and if it is smudgeable one day—it will be the next until the excess powder has rubbed off.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Toner is considered “wet” when there is excess toner. Toner is transferred to the paper by heat. “Dry” toner is actually cold toner.
The fact that you want to make an issue out of “wet” toner tells me exactly how much you know about printers, which is very little.
I’ve got in my mind the photocopiers where there’s a drum of powder toner and there’s some kind of heat applied to make the image permanent. Is that the kind of deal we’d be talking about?
But it sounds like El Sordo wasn’t talking about a smudge but more like maybe something being transferred because it was pressed against the other paper. What was it you were saying about transfers happening because of some machine they go through, like in the mail?
