I've not had any luck with Quink.  I've heard that Carter's Stamp Pad Ink
is the best (permanent also), and I'll be trying that next.  The most
difficult thing is finding something to inject the ink into the little
hole on top (syringes are illegal, but I have a couple left over from
legal treatments).  
There are also companies that sell refillable cartridges for the DeskJet.
(And the ink too, one presumes).
