Re: Kirkland papers revisited

2005-01-11 by scott_now_coming

Mark,

I received my bulk ink and supplies yesterday. I didn't have time to 
get to ostco as they are 35 miles away from me. I plan tomget out 
today, weather permitting (a little frozen rain now!).

I went with PK and a bottle of warm. The prints are too warm for my 
taste. So, I ordered a bottle of neutral and will use that in slots C 
and M (leaving the warm in the Y position), that should give me the 
slight warmth I'm loooking for.
