I mix my own in a Kiro Sumi 6oz ink bottle. I use 3oz water to 1oz black kiro sumi ink. I then add a small dash, maybe a tenth of an ounce of green soap. I also keep a 1oz bottle full of water & when I set up for shading I add drops of water to my ink caps gradually decreasing the amount in each one so that I have a wide range of values. Usually 3 or 4 different shades works well. I am strongly considering purchasing the silverback graywash set tho.
