Default Spotting Dye/Ink

The price charged now for genuine spotting ink or dye can be drastically reduced by using the contents of an Inkjet 5 colour ink cartridge plus a plain black. The actual make doesn't matter a great deal but for information I use Epsom compatibles which come out at around £12 for both the 5 colour and the black.

Most modern inks/dyes have a permenance almost equal to RA4 prints, so will last quite a long time. They are very concentrated and will only need the smallest amount on a white saucer with quite a lot of water. They mix easily and practically any shade can be reproduced and will absorb almost immediately on a resin coated surface.
