Interesting. Thanks for the info. I've got this:

In stock. Would make sense sort of.

Also got some Alginate from them for doing the oppositeish.

Nothin like some seaweed for your ink!

ebscreen:
Care to divulge the basics of your homemade natural inks Tony? Just the basics.
Is it as simple as find something that works as a pigment add the seaweed and
water to consistency?

Well the name Urea was only what my guy reffered to as what he knew, but the ammonium sulfate solution was recommend to me by Steve Hedge at Polyone, I bought mine here: http://www.soapgoods.com/Ammonium-Sulfate-p-714.html

What I can't remember is what percentage ammonium sulfate to and it is distilled water it's supposed to be, but it works.

tonypep:
Well no secrets and no organics except the thickener really. To build a really good WB you must have a homogenizer. We would buy latex concentrate, anti foam (the water was free) and go to town. There is a certain sequence speed, and timing requirement to make the magic happen. Especially with discharge. There was a company called Organic Pigments and while some actually were a lot were not.
