Digital BW, The Print

>>> With the MIS warm carbon, you'll want the Eboni MK for matte paper. The PK
does not give a good dmax. It is used as a dark mistone ink. That's why the
layout is K=Eboni, C & M = PK, LC & LM = LK, and Y = LLK.

OK. I think the fog is beginning to clear. If I understand correctly, this
setup uses the standard neutral black ink (Eboni) in order to get decent
dmax. The PK is used primarily to add warmth and for midtones, and LK and
LLK (also warm?) are used in two slots each more or less to fill all the
slots and keep tones smooth.

In theory could I use LK and LLK in only one slot each and put Windex in two
slots? (I won't, just would like to know)

How will the warmth of this setup compare to Cone's sepia inks, assuming all
else is the same?

Could I use this same warm tone setup you outline in an Epson 3800? If so,
what inks should go in which slots there?
