I'm not sure what Dick meant by "much popular opinion", as the gum printers
I know use every and all kind of pigment imaginable. (I think it was Steven
Livick that used to claim that the ONLY pigment worthwhile was some
outrageously expensive French product, but he is a rare exception).

In addition to watercolor pigments, I use dry pigments, Dr. Martin's
Concentrated Watercolor, Createx airbrush colors, Sumi ink, and Mixol
pigments. All work well.

Hey Dick,

Not only any brand....but any pigment/color. I was surprised this hornets
nest (hehe) went unnoticed 'till now. Must have something to do with the
suspension of the pigment at the higher viscosities but that is just
conjecture on my part.

One thing that Stuart said that goes counter to much popular opinion is
that any brand of pigment works. I found that interesting.
