For Roark - FS Ink Formulae

For Roark - FS Ink Formulae

2002-10-09 by Jani, Shilesh

Hello Paul,

I am playing around mixing inks to impart different tones to FS inks.  I
read your posts in the files section on the draft Sepia FS inks, and I have
some questions:

Once I have created my master Cyan (dark density) ink, can your formulae be
used universally to get the Magenta and Yellow inks? That is will they work
no matter what tone I am developing? It would sure help if all I have to do
is get the dark tone right which I can dilute serially to get the other
inks.

Magenta = 26% Cyan + 74% MIS Clear Base?
Yellow = 43% Magenta + 57% MIS Clear Base?

Thank you.

Shilesh
