I've been asked to clarify the phrase "let the ink set for a while" in my
last message.  Well, it's a matter of what paper you are using.  If you are
using high quality paper that doesn't let the ink bleed into it (eg: 25%
cotton bond, 100% cotton bond, or laid paper of any sort), the ink is going
to stand on top of the paper until it is completely dry.  With this kind of
paper, you must let the ink dry for 5-10 minutes before you start using a
highlighter marker.  With normal xerox paper (which lets the ink bleed into
it a little), it is possible to start using a highlighter right away.

If you are interested in having a more rigorously tested "waterproofness,"
you must wait longer than 5-10 minutes.  How much longer, I don't know.
(I just tried sprinkling water on it, and it ran like crazy).
