And where do those tints in tinted inksets come from? From color pigments in 
the inks. Whether you apply them in the ink with a fixed inkset, or apply them 
from tinting carts in a variable inkset, or straight to the paper from 
seperate full color carts in a color inkset, they are still color pigments. 
Neutral-only inksets (or carbon-only) are the only ones that avoid this, and by 
avoiding it, they are limited pretty much to a single tone, and whatever tint that 
tone produces on a given paper.
