    Salt Water - Where do you get it?

    I am curious. The salt water that is used in printing with the Peachy Printer; is it something you must get from somewhere, or is it a simple mixture you make at home using table salt and tap water?

    Salt and tap water, from what I understand.

    I imagine there's a tiny chance you might need filtered water, if anything in your local tap water can mix with the resin and affect the print quality, but I doubt it.

    Yeah, I think the "worst case" would be that you'll have to get distilled water (hardware store, supermarket) and salt without iodine or anti-caking agent (->organic food store or pet/aquarium store)

    You must import the salt water from the nearest ocean. As this is a Canadian printer it can use salt water from either the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean.

    It will also probably be Arctic-compatible.

    Actually the artic water isn't compatible due to the ice. But hopefully in a few years that will no longer be a problem.
