I printed a QSO on the back of a QSL card and let it dry for a few minutes. I then ran it under a stream of water with no effect. I rubbed the printing with my finger and, after a few rubs, I saw a bit of ink dissolving. The printing was still clearly legible. Frankly, I was a bit surprised at the water resistance of the ink. This was with an HP cartridge. Perhaps some of the aftermarket or refilled cartridges are not as good.
Another point in favor of the ink jets is that they need no warm up time as do the laser printers. 73, Roger -- Remember the USS Liberty (AGTR-5) http://ussliberty.org/
