[Digital BW] Re: HP PK BO

2009-02-24 by Randy Rancier

Much thanks for your replies. I've decided to experiment by diluting the HP PK with glop  
hoping that it will help or eliminate having to use glop from the Y position with other UT-14 
inks on the 1400 as mentioned earlier in this thread.

Give me a week or two and I'll report on my results of using the HP PK for the cool PK and a 
30% dilution of HP PK and 70% glop for the cool Light PK.  Otherwise, for those of us wanting 
a better cool LT PK will have to use the C-6 base with a coat of glop.
