ink

 i'm using the cheapest dye ink on the german market from the ebay/amazon seller  
VHBW or ElectroPapa  the price in 2020 8€/L but i.t. m. doubled.
older ink from swiss ink worked also well

Because i didn't print bigger quantities, i'm thinning down the ink from time to time with a 50/50mix spiritus*/distilled water. 

* Ethanol, Ethylalcohol
