HarryT, I'm not second-guessing you and cannot presume to know what you may have suffered as a left-hander in a right-handed world, but as I look at my hand position on the page as I write, the pen nib extends beyond where my had rests on the page so that even if I were writing Arabic text (right-to-left) it would not smudge the text.
Does you normal writing postion (fingers, pen, hand as it rests on the page) place part of your hand in contact with the page above the level of the line you are writing? Mine doesn't and thus I don't understand how it would smear. But I have seen both lefties and righties that place their hand in a writing position that would smear.
Sorry to inquire if this is too personal.
