Digital BW, The Print

John, 

Back last year when doing the ph testing of papers, I was curious about the ph of the inks themselves....but had no way of testing them.  

As the MIS inks are a mix of pigment and the "Epson liquid" (don't know what else to call it)....and that is "colorless" then they (or at least the colorless vehicle) should be testable (I would think).  

I am curious too.

  Subject: [Digital BW] pH of quad inks


  On the Cone site is says that unlike some of their competitors, the Cone
  quad inks are alkaline (pH 9). It claims that other inks (without naming
  them) are acidic. Since this would clearly have archival implications, does
  anyone have some litmus paper around to check their MIS inks?
