Tinting Glycol

7. Mix the ink with the glycol in the plastic container using a drop counter you can buy it at your local pharmacy.

8. In the red glycol you need 10 drops or 0,5gr red ink, and in the green glycol you need 3 drops or 0.15gr green ink. This measurement is for 1.5dl glycol, that’s the amount in the BG808s glycol chambers. For the green I used standard green ink and for the red I used Lexmark printer ink (magenta).

Note: To amounts of ink mentioned above were figured out by building test chambers that were used to measure the colour density.
