Hp Ink Information Regarding Water Resistance
When we run to the office supply cabinet or local office supply store to pick up a fresh cartridge of ink, usually too much thought doesnt go into the process. Most people just look for the cartridge thats the right model, has a good value for the money and, alongside that, is offered for a fairly reasonable price; then they just pop that puppy into the printer and start printing away in happy ignorance of all of the ramifications of their purchase. For those who have a little bit more curiosity about the materials they work with, though, there is a wealth of hp ink information out there on the web for anyone to peruse.
One interesting report on the Hewlett Packard website revealed intriguing information regarding the durability and performance of its inks when paired with that archenemy of ink and paper anywhere: water. According to hp, staff chemists have worked tirelessly for literally thousands of hours trying to find the absolutely perfect chemical composition of ink that will allow for bright, durable color, high precision, a high page yield and total efficiency, all without risking water damage.
Pretty amazing, right? But even beyond that, the hp people have been hard at work not only on their inks, but also on supports, like their advanced photo paper which is also water resistant. This special paper is non-porous, glossy and slick, thus ultra resistant to spills, messes and unexpected rain storms, while the ceramic pigments in the inks are also highly water resistant and dry extra fast compared to your average printer ink.
As you can learn from reading reports on the Hewlett Packard website, hp backs up these claims to durability with an extensive track record of testing. Employees took pictures printed with hp inks on hp photo paper and did things like spray them with water, dip them in water and even leave them fully immersed in water for one hour, then tested to see of the image remained true. So if you see on the ink cartridge label a claim to be water resistant, you can be rest assured that the manufacturers know what theyre talking about!
