Re: Demineralised water for clear base?

2010-05-16 by Corrado

Hello Joost,

  we have been using, to make our homemade ink,  distilled water purchased off the shelf of a supermarket since four years, now. It is household grade, namely that used in a steaming iron. We never had troubles.

It is not the bacterial contamination that should worry you, since the ink mandate for an antibacterial anyway. But, rather, the residual salts/limestone that would deposit and permanently clog the printer head. For that matter, the household distilled water is good enough.

Ciao,
