I have a lot of extra yellow, cyan, and magenta ink left over from
refilling inkjet cartridges. Any idea of the proportions of each I
should mix to get brown/black ink?


Equal proportions of each will yield black.


Sort of black. The old HP single cartridge color printers did that and the
black had a sort of icky greenish hue to it. That was the HP500C that cost
$300 back in the late 1980's. The dual cartridge 550C was $400.
