Not any more.  HP ink cartridges now come with ink that is ~waterproof
after it dries (actually, rubbing hard when water is standing on the
paper will still produce a smudge, but casual hand contact or people who
spit when they talk won't).  As far as I know, all suppliers of refill
ink are still shipping stuff that smudges more easily.
