Find an appropriate conversion of shades to colors in Photoshop and you won't even need new software, just the graded set of inks. It used to be the case that some ink cartridges could be refilled by hand. If you could get those, maybe you can mix your own shades by appropriate proportions of black ink and solvent. Something to do if you have a lot of time on your hands...
