Waterproof ink for inkjet printers

It's irritating that inkjet ink is not waterproof.

Some water gets on it and it smears and the page is ruined.

Anyone know why no one makes waterproof ink for inkjets ?

The trend in the industry, is to modify the "media" (paper),
rather than to change the composition of the ink. The result,
is a web page like this.

"HP Inkjet Printers - Printing Water-resistant Photos"

Epson's "Durabrite" inks have "Water and smudge resistance on both
plain paper and Epson's range of Photo Papers":
http://www.epson.com.au/consumables/.../durabrite.asp

Using a different brand of photo paper can mess it up though:
http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/14826371

The Durabrite inks are Pigment type inks, which are designed for
Epson's printers with their alternative print head technology.
So a similar type of ink couldn't be used in another brand of
inkjet printer.

I don't know if there are any water resistant inks suitable
for the inkjet print heads used in other brands of printers.

The reviews I read about Durabrite ink was that it clogged printer heads.

I have been using the cheapest copy paper.

I will give inkjet papers a try since they are more absorbent.

Epson heads do clog with infrequent use. In my experience all print
heads clog in Inkjets. I gave up and am now laser only.

Presumably you mean photo paper. I doubt different makes of plain
copy paper would offer better protection, it would absorb the water
just as well as the ink.

That's funny...

I didn't see this asked in a Printer News Group either in the alt.* or
comp.* hierarchies.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

I wonder why I would think someone would ask a Printer Ink question in a
Printer support News Group ?

I also wonder why someone would ask a Printer Ink question and not even
state the Make and Model.

Based upon this paradigm...
The next time I have a problem with my Dodge Grand Caravan I'll take it to
the Harley Dealership for service.

PS: Since it is a WinXP News Group - I won't give a direct answer, just an
enigmatic Product Number "1301".

Sound like sound advice.

The Harley techs have a wide variety of automotive experience.

It wouldn't be a newsgroup with at least one complainer.

I am thankful that most posters are cheerful givers. :-)

Perfection is an asymptotic function. No matter how one tries, it is never
reached.

However, you would have had an answer already if you asked in a Printer News
Group and it always helps to ate the make and model as some solutions may be
vendor dependent.

I gave you a Product Number but because you couldn't post in a Printer News
Group, you will have to work to know the manufaturer of that Product Number.
I use "it" and I was told about "it" in a Printer News Group.

Enough clues.... do your homework.

I chose to post here because I am using Win XP.

So it is an appropriate post.

What is not appropriate is your caustic response.

You have an anger problem.

Grow up and don't lecture people who are seeking help !!

Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

The argument...
" I chose to post here because I am using Win XP."
Is ludicrous, wrong and frakly - lame. You fail to analyze the issue
at-hand. Every single computer OS has printing capability. OS/2, CP/M,
Netware, Windows, 'nix, mainframes, yada, yada... But none have to do with
how a printer works. Your ink problem is specific to printers and thus the
focus needs to be on the technology. Not the technology that sends jobs to
it.

Half the process of problem resolution is asking the right questions and
posing them to the right audience.

Since people with the most printer skills, knowledge and insider information
frequent printer related News Groups, they are the audience to seek answers
from.

Not relating the Make and Model of the printer in question speaks to the
lack of asking the right questions.

Missing those two areas, you put yourself on the wrong track. You need to
understand the tact.

You can't make a person reason but you can teach a person how to think,
reason, apply critical thought and use thought experiments to solve
problems.

You call my tactic an "anger problem". No it is a deliberate tactic to put
you out of your comfort zone and push you to think about the problem and
push you to think about the process of “thinking about the problem”, the
issues and the process of problem resolution. Instead of rethinking about
how you may solve a problem, you put up a defense mechanism and reflect back
to me by not recognizing your problem but tell me I have the problem. An
"anger problem".

Then you throw out an irrelevant scripture phrase. There is no sin here.
There is no case of finding fault in others because we do not have fault in
our selves. It is about seeing a person floundering and providing a
life-line. The person floundering doesn't know they are floundering and
reject assistance.

I have been in the Microsoft hierarchies for a very long time. In all that
time you won't be able to find me asking a lot of questions. I am on the
other side. I answer questions. But I too ask questions. You don't see them
because I understand the concept of "audience".
When I have a problem with my Dodge Grand Caravan I won't take it to a
Harley dealership because they are the wrong audience. They may understand
the Internal Combustion Engine and power transmission and other basic
vehicle technology constructs but they are not trained on the Dodge family
vehicles. But if I take my Dodge Grand Caravan to Chrysler-Dodge I have a
targeted audience where a solution can best be sought.

Gernot is not a part of your audience because he doesn't frequent this OS
news group. You won't get his knowledge or experience because you fail to
seek the best audience for your problem.

When I had the same water smearing issues I sought the right audience and I
quickly received a solution. I have applied that solution ever since.

I am not going to just provide that to you. I will try to teach the
floundering person, who says I have an "anger problem", how to derive that
solution and how he can tread water without floundering and come to
solutions easily and properly.

It's at least two. This is why I complained about your posts a week
or two ago. You seem to go out of your way to make them vague, and
sometimes though not this time incomprehensible, and as David points
out, you post in the wrong group but not in the right group.

I am thankful that most posters are cheerful givers. :-)

He said nothing about perfection, but if you, that is, you, don't even
strive to do better, you won't even reach mediocrity.

No. The operating system has no effect on what ink or what paper to
use.

If you posted here as well as a printer ng, that would make some
sense.

What is not appropriate is your caustic response.

You have an anger problem.

And you are stiff-necked.

"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. "

John 8:7

Give me a break. That was an alleged story about adultery and
alledgedly the actual throwing of actual stones. No one's throwing
stones at you.

If you applied the verse the way you have, no one could ever criticize
anyone about anything. Children could not be reared, employees could
not be supervised. Criminals could not be indicted and trials could
not have prosecutions.

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, what is this use of
religion?

There are lots of verses for you too. What does Acts 7:51 say about
being stiff-necked?

New International Version

"You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!

Acts 7:51

You left out the 2nd verse.


SEVEN ATTRIBUTES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

There are not words enough to tell of the attributes of the Holy Spirit. However, in this sermon outline I am listing seven of those wonderful characteristics that we see in Him. Many times we do not appreciate what He is doing for us 24/7 of the time. As we think on these seven verses may it help us to let Him work more closely I our lives. I am using both the KJV and the AMP translations of the Bible in this outline.

John 16:1-16

I. The Holy Spirit is our source of power here on earth.
Acts 1:8 (AMP) But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
A. Serve the Lord.
B. To witness for the Lord.
C. To have fruit in our lives
D. To over come the devil and his works.

II. The Holy Spirit has a will.
1 Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
A. His will for us in the Word of God.
1. God's Word is God's Will.
2. God's Will is God's Word.
3. Lloyd Ogilvie "When Gods plan for our life becomes the passionate mission of our life, then Gods power becomes our power."

III. He is our prayer partner.
Romans 8:26 (AMP) So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.
A. He aids us when we are weak.
B. He directs our prayers.
1. He does this many times by laying needs and people on our hearts.
2. Charles H. Spurgeon "God will not be absent when His people are on trial; he will stand in court as their advocate, to plead on their behalf."

IV. He is all knowledge. He is all knowing.
1 Corinthians 2:10 Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny].
A. He helps us understand the Word of God and in doing so we can find the Will of God for our lives.
B. He puts that Rhema Word in our hearts.

V. His language is a perfect language.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
A. I often say that the Holy Spirit is the best teacher.
B. He uses the best of all languages.
1. For one thing he can bypass our ears and minds and speak direct to our hearts.

VI. It is the Holy Spirit that sheds God's love in our lives.
Romans 15:30 (AMP) I appeal to you [I entreat you], brethren, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love [given by] the Spirit, to unite with me in earnest wrestling in prayer to God in my behalf.
A. If we need more love in our lives for others, wait on the Lord.
B. Ask God to refill you daily with His Holy Spirit.
1. We always have His Spirit from the day of our salvation.
2. We can have a fresh anointing daily by waiting on the Lord.
3. I begin every morning by confessing to the Lord, myself and to the devil that Jesus Christ is Lord!
VII. The Holy Spirit is goodness. One old evangelist would say in almost all of his sermons, God is a Good God! He really is.
Nehemiah 9:20 (AMP) You also gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, and withheld not Your manna from them, and gave water for their thirst.
A. Nehemiah here says that God gave His Good Spirit, why?
1. To instruct.
2. To supply all there needs.
3. Jesus taught us to pray saying, "Give us this day, our daily bread."

THE GOODNESS OF GOD. by Philip Pascal
His goodness is an ocean that has no shore.
A Mountain that has no summit.
A Road that has no end.
Not meager, but much.
Not skimpy but sufficient.
Not little, but limitless*
Not barely, but bountiful*
Not feeble, but full.
