I mean, I always believed (I had never made any research; I just assumed) that the 4-ink sets were done with 1 black and 3 different additions of white ink onto black ink. If the 3 other inks are simply dillutions, why bother to buy the sets? Just dillute them yourself, with a little trial-and-error dillutions, to find the match that works fine for you - is this (me) too dumb? Or too much of work for a not-so-good result?
