Are prints made with this printer "waterproof", i.e. is the ink suitable for printing cards that also get a bit of rain? Could someone who has this printer test this? The ink is advertised by HP as "pigmented"...

Question

Accepted Answer

Pigmet ink from HP is advertised as waterproof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkRlLuf19JQ
All HP Deskjet Pro models have this Pigmet ink.

This printer (EcoTank) in particular has a pigment-based black ink but dye-based colour inks, and is therefore certainly not suitable for waterproof prints, unless you fill in a different ink, which should be possible with this printer without any problems because of the tank.

Answer

Pigmented has nothing to do with waterproof. No, the ink is guaranteed to smudge.
