Ammonia is BASIC.  Vinegar is ACIDIC.  If Vinegar works, chances are it is 
because the ink is slightly basic, at least "breaks down" in a basic solution.  
Seems to THIS non-chemist, then, that Ammonia would have NO effect on the 
already-basic ink?  

In pre-Civil War far-eastern Texas, we solid-state wizards had a saying:  If 
it works, ignore the math and the chemistry, and GO for it!
