Epson has the solution for that.Im not sure what the ink is called but epson has special ink. Im sure hp will have also. They use this oil in ink so water wont damage it.Look for a printer that prints on card in colour were the ink is water proof?
better yet, here's another option.... buy a waterproof high gloss photopaper paper. I've tried it and even pour water on the paper right after printing...no colour run....
Color laser is the solution.





Inkjet ink, by nature, is water-based. Even the Epson Durabrite ultra pigmented ink is not waterproof.





You might also search the craft stores for a spray finish that will seal your inkjet-printed cards and protect them from water.
Go to a Printer Cartridge shop and they should have ink cartridges and waterproof ink cartridges.
Might be best to buy a cheap laser printer because that burn the toner into the paoper which will make it more water proof
