I can understand the dot issue in the lightest shades, but I'm 
surprised you couldn't get dotless in the middle to almost black 
areas. I would have thought that you could mix in some of the light 
black to fill in the spotty areas of medium black, and mix light 
and/or medium black into the spotty areas of the full black. It's 
still just a theory, as soon as I finish the RIP wars and decide what 
to buy, I'll give a go at mixing something that works best for my 
machine.

Not trying to compete or "re-invent the wheel", just want to cut down 
on the different types of products I use. And so I can buy ink from 
only one place, and know it won't cause problems when I switch back 
and forth (that and I feel I've found the best matte black ink for 
me).
