    [scribes]: Dye based ink and bleach

Subject: [scribes]: Dye based ink and bleach

Greetings, everyone:
Here's a question:  It was stated on this list a while back that Pelikan 4001 
is a "dye-based" ink.  I assume this means that it stains the paper rather 
than having a pigment in a medium that sits on top.  Is that correct?

And if so, if I were to use the tiniest bit of bleach to lighten the residue 
of an unwanted mark on the surface of some Arches 140# hot press, would the 
mark go away and stay gone, or would it return to haunt me later?  Would the 
bleach eventually cause the paper to yellow?  Or dissolve?
Thanks very much for your help
Caryn, Artemisia
