What about this? I see it as being like water-based paint. If you wash a
semi-gloss paint the day after you put it on, you will get some paint coming
off ... but wait a week or two, and the paint holds up to repeated water
exposures. Now I know the ink is probably not "curing" in the same way the
paint is, but if there was some residual water content in the ink when you
put it in the FeCL3, you could be redissolving some of the ink. That's why I
think John's suggestion has some merit.
