Digital BW, The Print

Brian,I was looking for commonly available products that contained
surfactants possibly suitable for use in ink dilutions.The Tilex MSDS
showed one of interest to me. That, along with the fact that it's only
other listed ingredient besides H2O was the isopropyl, led me to give
it a try. Unless you are a commercial or educational enterprise, it's
often difficult to get access to small quantities of this sort of
chemical.

Regards
Duane
