Carbon tissue and inkjet inks, Was: Gum and inkjet

[Kees Brandenburg <ctb@zeelandnet.nl>]

Hello Sandy,

You are right about costs of these inks, but as I have some bottles  
of bulk ink here in my studio (also much cheaper than cartridges) why  
not try them? Pigment particles in inkjet inks are extremely fine and  
allready in dispersion so mixing them in is a snap. The advantage of  
a balanced set of process colors may also be a reason to try this, as  
Paul suggested in his original post. Actually I coated some sheets of  
yupo this afternoon with a (normal) mixture of 10% gelatine, some  
sugar and glycerine. I started with 10ml MIS Eboni black per 500ml. I  
will let you know if this leads to something.
