Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Please define "indelible" -as in ineradicable, lasting forever?
HP doesn't offer indelible ink cartridges specifically labeled as such for the HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Printer or any other printer, for that matter. Indelible ink typically refers to ink that is resistant to fading, water, and other environmental factors, making it suitable for long-lasting documents and records.
However, HP does claim the following, and I quote:
"The documents you print for business demand a high level of print quality for professional marketing materials as well as the permanence and durability required for stored files.
- Dark storage: When documents are stored in folders, drawers, or file cabinets, they are not exposed to light. Documents printed on plain paper with Original HP inks for the office can last for over 100 years.2
- Fade-resistant: Preserve documents that maintain black text and color quality for decades when on display, resisting fading, with all-pigment Original HP inks for business printing.1 View fade resistance information
- Durable: HP pigment inks are designed for the office, allowing you to print professional documents that resist smudges and water.3 And HP pigment inks are specially formulated to produce fast-drying documents when using HP papers with ColorLok® technology.
- HP OfficeJet Pro and HP PageWide systems have all pigment, rather than dye-based inks. Since they are all pigment inks, they are water resistant on plain paper, plain paper with ColorLok®, and coated photo paper.
Original HP pigment inks are certifiably permanent under the ISO 11798 standard, concerning fade-resistance and durability of writing, printing, and copying on paper. This is a rigorous industry standardized test method proving that plain paper prints made with HP office printers using Original HP inks will withstand harsh exposure to light, water, abrasion and handling, and long-term storage and heat, and still be legible in the future."

Please note that the best record-keeper available may be an email account. Instead of printing a Word document or PDF, email a copy to yourself. **bleep**, Outlook, Yahoo (or whatever email service you happen to use) will keep it safe for future reference. You can also find it again with simple search, or tag it with keywords so that you can easily find all documents that relate to a given topic. If you use webmail, you have the added benefit that your important documents are stored online, and won’t be lost if your storage drive fails.
Hope this was helpful.
