On reading that HP had finally announced a water-proof/resistant ink cartridge for the DeskWriter, I ran right out and bought one a week ago. The new ink was due out in December, according to the press release, but I needed to get a spare cartridge now. A call to HP Peripheral Support indicated that they had already already started shipping, but good luck finding the 1 dealer in 100 who had them in stock... After 5 or 6 tries to 800 numbers, I found a dealer with the new ink. It took a week to get here (UPS ground), but it was worth the wait! A damp/moist finger does not disturb the ink; a WET finger barely makes a smudge even when pressed hard! Mac Depot in LA has them: (800) 222-2808. $15 with free UPS shipping. P.S. This printer is RECOMMENDED! With KiwiEnvelopes, it is far and away the best all-around printer setup I've ever used. A very satisfied user...
