Digital BW, The Print

From:  Paul Roark

This is what I currently have in my 7800:
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/7800-EbHP-2013.pdf. It's only for matte
paper, although the HP inks are glossy compatible.

Paul,

I get lost in the very first sentenceŠ

"This approach is aimed at making the best possible matte prints in the
neutral to warm range. It combines Eboni-6, the most neutral (least warm)
dilute 100% carbon inkset, with HP Z3100/3200 neutral/cool gray pigments to
give a variable-tone inkset that, based on multiple tests of the underlying
pigments, likely makes the most lightfast prints within that target range."

To me, this seems to say that the Eboni-6 inks are neutral (not brown) and
the HP inks are neutral/cool (also not brown). I'm lost.

In an Epson 3800, what inks would you use for the warmest prints possible on
matte papers? (If I understand correctly, the HP inks would not be needed at
all for this.)
