Neutral K7 was formulated as seven distinct ink dilutions. In effect, it is seven ink 
formulations. That was a lot of work but it results in uniform neutrality. There was no 
other way. You simply can not make a "mother" ink, then dilute it, and expect to be within 
the same hue but less dense. Carbon pigments are characteristically different upon 
dilution. It does not take much dilution to shift it.

So it is very uniform. Thats the whole idea. Uniformity so that the paper has more meaning 
now...
