Does anyone know if Epson changed the formula of their basic inkjet ink over the past few months? I have a really cheap Epson C62 which I use for part of my art process. What I have been doing is essentially mono-printing with overhead transparencies. I print line art in black on transparency and then put the transparency against watercolor paper and burnish it and the image transfers to the paper, or at least it used to. I have just returned from my studio and was unsuccessful at making it work. In the past the ink would come off of the transparency onto my fingers just from a little sweat, now it won't even rub off with water. I'm getting a little worried because I have a show in a month and if this doesn't work I'm sunk. What I need is a watersoluble black ink that takes a little while to dry. The Epson ink used to give me about 20 minutes of working time to get the image to transfer. Can anyone help?
