Bear with me, I need some setup...
I have an epson 660 and I get inks from IslandInket.com. The colours are water resistant on most paper I put through it - even staples "card stock" 110lb. I figured this was the norm.
But, I had a bottle of black from an old "generic inkjet refill" that I had lying around and used that for refilling my epson's black - that ink runs like crazy with the slightest moisture.
So I figured, all GOOD inks are the same, right?
I bought a new Canon IP-3000 and printed on that same card stock above. I could get a little water on my finger, rub the card and SMUDGE!
My friend has a Canon 850 and he get's his refills in the US and his inks are colour fast ...
Ok, so your saying go get some refills and it should be ok - but from what I have read Canon's new inks are not very water resistant...
I want to be able to print on generic card stock, cover stock, linen card stock and I don't want the ink to run at the slightest sign of water ... ideally, I should be able to run the cards under water and it should not smudge.
Has anyone noticed any differences in refills between manufacturers for Canon IP3000 where some seem really really water resistant?
Or am I in a dream land?
Thanks,
Jake
