[Digital BW] Re: Alternatives to Photoflo in Carbon-6 inkset? What type of Glycerol?

2010-01-25 by m_r_tomlinson

Hi Joost
 
At present I just use the simple Eboni-6 setup for the 2200. So all I need is Glycerol (available from any pharmacist), Kodak Photoflo which I bought from Silverprint in London and purified water (I again got this from a pharmacist in 5 litre bottles).
 
I was thinking of trying the Tergitol version for Arches paper recommended by Paul Roark and you can get small bottles of it from Eurodyne in the UK who sell to individuals, but there is a high postal cost. I haven't tried this yet.
 
I amend the email from Eurodyne below.
 
Best
Mark
 
******************************email from Eurodyne:
 
Hi Mark,

I can confirm that we will sell to individuals, the only problem individuals have with buying from us is that there is a £9.50 (up to 30kgs) carriage charge on all chemicals.

To provide you with any chemicals we would need your name, address and telephone number.

There is also certian restrictions which apply to some of the more hazardous chemicals which you must comply with if you require those chemicals, however, we will let you about these if you order them.

Regards,
- Mike Atkinson
