Seems the ink >dissolves in salt water... The ink on the deskjet is indeed water soluble. This was required by the need to use plain paper.

Customers clearly stated that special paper was a bad requirement. ---------- ********************************************************************** * Jim Rogers at Hewlett-Packard Industrial Applications Center * * * * Don't read it in the rain............ * **********************************************************************
