Re: Plotter ink

some inks are soluable in water, some in alchol, some in other
solutions.

once you find the prope liquid, you can get the proper ink.

if you use the wrong ink, it will clog up the works. research
ink-jet refilling and cleaning and you will find data complied from
those who are expert in that field.

All inks are not the same.
