Digital BW, The Print

Hello all,

I'm striving for simplicity in my printing, so I do
not wish to have an ink that is toned, nor do I wish
to have color casts or need the variable mix
capability.  What I am looking for is a true quadtone
ink that is comprised of percentages of black without
additional pigments or dyes.  So I have 2 questions:

1. Are the color positions in the Full Spectrum warm
inks derived from the black ink?  Otherwise put, are
the inks created by a mixture of the Black ink with
the clear epson stock without additional pigments?

2. Is anyone creating their own quadtone inks by
diluting the MIS inks with the epson clear stock?  I
had used Eboni for about a day until it clogged my
1160 dry.  BUT - the one print that worked before the
clog has a beautiful tone, and I find its color much
more appealing than that of the FS original black.  

As I have replaced that printer - I hear the siren
song of Eboni calling me once more, and am interested
in using it as a quadtone base, with the cmy positions
diluted from eboni.  Call me sentimental, but I'll
most likely be using the piezo driver with this
inkset.

Any suggestions would be of great help,

Don
