Paul,

Is that all, distilled water and glycerol ?   I have  a 10000CF 
now and it will be converted to MIS 7600 but I think a cleaning 
has to be done in between. If that base would do the trick then 
I'm less worried.

John Nollendorfs mentioned glycerol as a component of the Ilford 
Archiva inks ages ago. It has the thixotropy and the retarder 
qualities to keep pigments suspended and nozzles open.
