I'm not about the fix the problems adding weight can bring. I found ChareInk6SP with added weight to be OK at the sizes I used it. I don't use large enough sizes for it to be an issue. Besides, all 4 variants would have to be fixed. I'm not spending all that time fixing them.

What I will do is start with the medium versions so I don't have to add as much weight.
