When I used the transparency material sold for the Canon Bubblejet
printer, I found that the coating washed off easily under the tap, but
the ink did not. I have been told that, unlike the manufacturer's ink,
the refill inks sold for the cartridges are water soluble, but I don't
know that of my own experience.
