Re: Best inkset for Epson 1290?

2008-08-29 by neil0968

Thanks for the reply Paul. 

I cant find a source of Photoflo 200 in the UK but we can get hold of 
Ilford Ilfotol wetting agent which is also a 1:200 working strength 
mix. Do you think this is worth a try? I can also find Photoflo 600 
but I seem to recall one of your articles/messages refers to you 
using Photoflo 200.

Many thanks again,

Neil
