Hi. I printed an email and dripped water on it, and the ink held up pretty good; however, it did smear when I rubbed my finger over it, but the letters were still there. I hope this review was helpful.

I did not know, so I printed on velum paper and then applied some water to it. Then I rubbed the paper. The water turned a light gray color but the ink was still readable with sharp characters. Velum paper in matt finish and very thick paper. I would use it to print my checks. When the water on the paper dries-it left a light gray transparent mark on my paper. Hope this helps.

ink jet seems to rub off when wet. Are you talking about the index card papers?

They are like the extra capacity T127 Epson cartridges. Not sure about water resistant. We just use them to print on regular paper - have not spilled water on them vs Epson inks to compare which one is better. But they look just fine for normal office printing tasks.

The ink is the Fisher pressurized cartridge. So it would be ideal for a Write in the Rain type paper. From their website: Fisher Space Pen's Sealed Pressurized Ink Cartridge Performs in temperatures from -30F to +250F, underwater, in zero gravity, at any angle-even upside down! The ultimate in dependability! The choice of ski patrols, search and rescue teams, law enforcement agencies, armed forces, and everyone who demands reliability in a writing instrument. It is a great writing ink! It is dense but smooth. Almost has a rubber or oil base feel.

I think that if it is something you printed out on your own printer there might be a problem since printer ink is water soluble. If it is ordinary printed material I don't see any problem other than soaking the paper might wrinkle it.

I have tried this pen with watercolors and had no issues. I used bristol board when I did this, may want to give the ink a good amount of hours to set before testing it out. If you look in the description, it does say that the ink IS permanent and water/ fade resistant, so unless you go super crazy with the water to the point the paper is coming apart, you should be just fine :)

I think the answer to the question of it being waterproof has a lot to do with the surface upon which you are applying the ink. I applied the ink to a paper envelope and ran it under the faucet for a few seconds as well as ran my finger over the area stamped and the presentation held very well. I have also applied it to plastic and it will smear and come off. Not sure how additional elements (e.g. extended exposure to sunlight, rain, etc.) will affect it.

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.

the black cartridges are high capacity one while the other are standard capacity. When you say water resistant do you refer to the cartridges ? In this case I don't know

I do not believe they are. I've been using them for almost a month now and the paper isn't that of waterproof and sometimes the ink smears if I don't let it dry completely.

I do not understand this question, are You asking if the ink can be used on a HP 61 Printer??
2241071
No, this ink is aqueous ink meaning it is water based ink. It will be water resistant to a small degree but is not waterproof by any means, for that you would need a solvent printer with solvent ink also referred to as "eco-solvent ink". Solvent ink is chemically different and is oil based, it is used mostly in sign/vinyl printing.

That is a good question but I have never tried to print any checks ..... In fact I got this laser printer mostly for my granddaughter to use. Otherwise is is working fine.

I do calligraphy, and unfortunately, the pilot pens is not waterproof. I have googled and seen clips on YouTube about ways to substitute different inks. I really like the pilot pen because the ink is always ready to flow!! I wish that the nib was angled for optimal Calligraphy effect, though...if they market a pen like that and with waterproof ink, this will be my go-to calligraphy pen! It would be awesome.

with this product, I would suggest no as the ink can be 'leaky" it's quite moist. it really needs paper in order for it not to bleed. just my thoughts.

No they are not waterproof. They are thin magnets and you print on paper. Even if you covered with clear laminate when completed water would bleed through the sides. Laser is the best way to go if you can do it that way. Better color and probably won't fade as fast, but still not completly waterproof.
