Have done that for spotting color prints and it doesn't work. 
The way the inkjet heads put down a color is different to mixing 
the same ink with a brush and applying it. It may work for quad 
inks but I think you better use the wedge as that gives you a 
wider range of greys to spot with.

Prefer the drawing pens filled with inkjet inks though.
