RE: A question about inks



Witho thanks for the site... Please share your experience w/ these inks
later.

Regarding the original question: in my understanding difference between
waterproof and non-waterproof india ink is the presence of shellac in
waterproof inks. (I could be completely wrong though...)

Regards,
Loris.

They are pigment dyes. Katayoun set me on track. It looks a very
promising dispersion. I bought WB-25 Black. I am now off to France so I
can't discus things anymore until I come back on Friday.

Witho,

Are the TW Graphic dyes ink dyes or pigment dyes?
