Ink Mixing by P Roark?

2009-04-30 by jag24x

Hi,

I'm about to go the Eboni 6 inks for my R1800 (1.5pl). I'm going to fill the remaining 2 carts with the Clear Base Formula from the Ink-Mixing.pdf P.Roark wrote. 

Though reading it, it states that 1.5pl printers should NOT just use the PhotoFlo wetting agent/surfactant, but to also use the Edwal LFN wetting agent as well.

If I was using the "by weight" where it state 10% Kodak Photo Flo and then add 1% Edwal LFN wetting agent. 
I cannot locate any Edwal LFN in Australia. I'd have to get it shipped from overseas. I already have the Kodak Photo Flo. Is there any other wetting agent I can add instead of Edwal LFN?

I've got access to formalin/formaledhyde and 95% clear alcohol, can I use either to help me out for the Edwal LFN? :)

Cheers
