Re: Mixing Piezography with MIS EB-6 inks

2008-11-20 by Jon Cone

Piezography inks are more similar in chemistry to Ultrachrome inks so
no flushing is necessary going that way. But I have no idea about the
chemistry of MIS inks.

If MIS does not advise mixing with Ultrachrome, I certainly would not
mix with Piezography.
