In my experience, also the original ink that comes with the factory made, Canon BC-02 cartridges, runs away with the slightest moisture. I know that the cartridges used by HP are much more water resistant, and that Lexmark has two types of black-ink cartridges: one that is not supposed to be water resistant, and one that is supposed to be fully water resistant. On the other hand, if someone can recommend a refill for BC-02 cartridges that is water resistant, I would be very grateful.
