   Gentian Violet in Inkjet printer?   
   21 Oct 15 18:07:48   
   
   On the face of it it seems I could use GV solution in an inkjet as a cheaper   
   alternative to the usual black inks. Ingredients are water, 10% alcohol & GV.   
   Or water, glycerin, GV.   
      
   Is there any reason to not do this? Anyone have any idea what concentration to   
   try first?   
      
   The idea is to find rock bottom cost inkjet ink. Colour is unimportant as long   
   as it's readable.   
      
   I'm also aware it fades in time. Any suggestions for the cheapest possible   
   additive to give some residual legibility are welcome.   
      
      
   thanks
