Digital BW, The Print

(With a subject like, "Kleenex chromatography," it's hard not to wonder.)

The other day, in the context of comparing these inks, I mentioned that I
had put drops of the MIS and Piezo magenta-position inks on a Kleenex and
found that the resulting ink dots showed what could be interesting
information. The scan of the Kleenex is now in the "Files" area of the
forum, in the "Message
Related Files" folder.  It's called Piezo-MISdots.jpg.  The following URL
should get you there:

elated%20Files/Piezo-MISdots.jpg

I'm sure the image is subject to differing interpretations.  My view is that
the blue-green fringe around the Piezo spot may be caused by dissolved dyes
in that inkset spreading further through the Kleenex than the pigment
particles.  However, I'm no chemist.
