Selection of informal prints containing ink MC distributed (4,1,3)

I believe the answer is:

pick n mix

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'selection' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'informal prints containing ink mc distributed' is the wordplay.
'informal prints' becomes 'pix' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'containing' is an insertion indicator.
'distributed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ink'+'mc'='inkmc'
'inkmc' with letters rearranged gives 'cknmi'.
'pix' enclosing 'cknmi' is 'PICK-N-MIX'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pick n mix that I've seen is " assortment of sweets".)
