I to have a canon 200ex printer and have noticed the same moisture problem
as you . If you use one of the ink cartridge refill kits on the market, they
use water soluble ink but the factory ink which is supplied with a new
cartridge is supposed to be non water soluble, thus no running for the most
part.
