Waterproof inks for PIXMA PRO-200?

Hello! I have a Canon Pixma Pro 200 printer, (I've not set it up yet) and I want to know if there are inks available for it that are waterproof. I would like to print images that I can paste and cover with Modge Podge glue for scrapbooking, and I do not want the inks to run.

I would also like to print sketches onto special paper that I can then color by hand with paints such as watercolor, without the printed inks running. Any suggestions for papers that can be printed on for this purpose would be helpful too. Is it possible to print on an artist's paper such as Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper, for example? Or only papers made specifically for printers?

Hi KatieTodd,

The inks for your PIXMA PRO-200 are not waterproof. What some users do is coat the paper with a spray after printing is completed. An example of such a spray is called frog juice.
