Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........   Sorry, The new smear resistant
ink is still water based, and it still works somewhat better on Cotton
bond papers than on "ordinary" copier papers.  As noted in previous
responses to the base-note, performance will vary across various
copier papers as well as on the different sides of the paper.
