They must really be more like paints. Ink dyes the paper - it's a
subtractive process, hence mix all the colours on an ink-jet printer
and you get black. Onto black paper, ink can only make the black
darker.
When you apply the ink (or paint) as a layer on the paper, then the
light has to reflect off that ink before it gets to the paper.
Ink isn't a layer, it's absorbed by the paper ...
It adheres to the paper, and covers the paper. Absorption causes some
spreading of the inked area, but only partially.
... this conflating of ink and paint ...
One is a pigment, the other is a dye.
