Ammonia is BASIC. Vinegar is ACIDIC. If Vinegar works, chances are it is
because the ink is slightly basic, at least "breaks down" in a basic solution.
Seems to THIS non-chemist, then, that Ammonia would have NO effect on the
already-basic ink?
In pre-Civil War far-eastern Texas, we solid-state wizards had a saying: If
it works, ignore the math and the chemistry, and GO for it!
