<b>TIP:</b> I used a different Black Pigment Ink, but did not work well. I ordered Versafine Clair Nocturne Pigment Ink from Amazon and received it quickly:-) I used the Nocturne over my 1st try and I got a sharp Black image... Again...follow the video and you will have awesome results!!!!!<div><br /></div><div><b>TIP:</b> I used the tip in the video to use paper towels and rubbing alcohol to clean the black ink off the 3D EB Folder. It worked great..just be sure to have enough paper towels handy.
