Paul,

I would like to try the HP PK mix but am a little uncertain on how to
achieve the dilutions. I read the HPC6 article and it says to use by volume
62% distilled water, 28% glycerol and 9.7% Photo-Flo. I assume I will change
all of these to mls and create a standard clear base to use for all
dilutions is this correct? 

 

I then add an amount of HP PK for the  50% and lesser amount for each other
dilution. Does this mean I would add 10ml of ink and 10ml of clear base to
make 20ml for the 50% dilution?  

 

Also 4ml of ink and 16mls of clear base to make a 20% dilution?

 

I would like to do this correctly the first time before I make a big mess in
the kitchen. 

 

Thanks for your help.

Gary Wagner

The Edwal LFN is used in addition to the Photo Flo in the latest C6 
base mix (sometimes referred to by me as "C6c"). Photo Flo has yet 
another surfactant in is as well as some glycol that is probably useful.

No, I'd be curious how the glop does as a base. See if it, in fact, 
reduces the bronzing.
