i mix mine 75% 50%and 25% the 25 will give you a real soft gray i tried less than 25 around 15 and when it healed you could barley see it. i go with the three and mix all in between and lighter just mixing with water.

I have to chime in on this one..

I personally feel that buying kuro sumi greywash is a straight up waste of money.. as long as you know how to make greywash that you like and can use.. theres no need for a premixed bottle.

let me explain..

Kuro Sumi lining ink, and grey wash cost the same right?

lets say their greywash is cut to 33.3% ink.. 66.7% water.. (which i'm sure its less ink than that.. but.. whatever)

You're paying 2/3 of the price of the bottle for Water.. h2o.. yes water.

buy 1 bottle of the regular ink.. make 3-4 bottles of greywash with one.. save money.
