This part really begs the question for what about the yellow is making
it work. The gallon looks tremendously cheap in comparison to the small
amounts too, if everything works out I may get one and split it up.
Even if it's the pigment itself, and the pigment properties are hard to
find in something else, the pigment may be far cheaper once we locate a
source. Should work fine to add it to another ink or simply make our own..
