QTR-Quadtone RIP

Paul, do you foresee doing something similar to what you're
experimenting with the Eboni-6 and the R1800, but with the Carbon-6
approach? Apparently there was an issue of PhotoFlo not being strong
enough or something but another member apparently had some good luck
using Ecover RinseAid and NatureClean Rinse Agent, obtained in a
grocery store.

It's be cost effective to be able to mix one's own dilutions, I would
think.
