Re: inks for oil printing



Hi Henk:

It looks like Graphic Chemical carries Faust ink
	http://www.graphicchemical.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?page=1

 - I think I'll order some of these - I like that they come in tubes - 
simplifies things

I've ordered from Graphic Chemical before - but does any know of a Canadian 
supplier of Faust ink?

Thanks,

Gord
