   To: <[2]histonet <@t> lists   Hello  to  all  in  histo land. Our PA used Higgins ink (india ink) on
   some
   skin specimens and set the ink with 10%acetic acid soln. After the
   specimens were processed, all of the ink was gone, washed off. We have
   regular  alcohols  and  xylene  on the processor, this should not have
   made
   the ink wash off. Any suggestions on why it washed off, how to prevent
   this from happening again. Any help in this matter will be greatly
   appreciated.
