thanks Guido! I think it was you, who mentioned acrylics as pigment for casein prints. I've tried gouache, but haven't exactly found the right amount, so with acrylic process black, the drop is right on the spot, more starts to flake.

I have printed with inkjet < 50 prints in colour, but > 10000 in B&W, so it's time to do casein prints in colour!

W&N is readily available from the tiny window glass, windshield, framing and art store in my neighbourhood.  And I get artist's discount, so I'll try to see, if they have these colours off-the-shelf.

thanks
