Laser transfers with heat, inkjet smears with water.
Neither technology is perfect.


Only water based ink spears with water, and even good water based
pigment inks can not be washed out or totally obliterated with water.
The average 20lb bond paper will disolve in water before the HP940 ink
will wash out. (or even the Canon 226) 5 minutes in water will cause
the ink to bleed through the fibers and become difficult to read, but
the print is still there, and it won't transfer a legible copy to
another sheet of paper, unlike laser prints subjected to heat..


It's obvious that we each like our own tech. So be it.
