Re: Eboni6 in 1800 (was "Carbon-6" Ink Mixing)

2008-05-18 by the_des_bois

Hello Paul,

I want to try C-6 in my R1800 (Glycerine USP and Photo-Flo being
readily available and very cheap here).

Where would I place the different dilutions (densities?) in an R1800?

Would it be safe to assume this:

R1800 Ink position / C-6 reference
MK / Eboni
R / C
B / M
C / LC
M / LM
Y / Y
PK / clear base
GL / clear base

Thanks for your advice and help,

Denis
