Re:Ink Chemistry Refresher

2002-12-06 by Jeff Randall

The Ink Chemistry Refresher thread is new and was intended to warn 
folks about blindly using the 9 parts water to 1 part household 
ammonia (or Windex with Ammonia D) as a universal cleaning solution 
for all inks.  It works well for basic (high pH) inks NOT for acidic 
(low pH) inks.
