Re: Home brew ink base

2012-03-13 by dlruckus

If memory serves, I believe I've seen H2O2 mentioned somewhere in ink formulations in patents for water based inks for inkjets. I think it was generally meant as a mild biocide agent to clean up the base solution ingredients during production and not necessarily intended for permanent retention in the mix.

Whether Photo Flo is among those that has any at all is also unknown.  Additionally, since I believe H2O2 breaks down to (2) H2O + O2 in water, whether it would be in the dilute ink mix for long is an open question.
