Re: [Digital BW] 2K 2LK Inkset

2013-06-13 by Paul Roark

The clear base I made is specifically matched to the Noritsu K.  I have no
idea what might happen if the ink and base have different dye couplers, for
example.  Frankly, I'd be skeptical of any other dye inkset in terms of
longevity.  Traditional dyes do not dilute well.
