I did not flush between the piezo and the MIS inks, or the Generations inks. In
fact, I've mixed both with the piezo inks and had no problems.

I have never seen the green cast some people are talking about. The Legion photo
matte and the MIS variable tone inks are a wonderful combination with the exact
cool tones that I love. Paul's warm curve can be made a little bit warmer by
sliding the magenta/green slider to the far left on 6 color printers, or the
Yellow/Blue slider on the 4 color printers.

If you are truly looking for a sepia tone, you can mix the exact tone you want
in a color balance photoshop adjustment curve. Then just apply it to each print
before printing, and you can use any archival color inkset.

There would be enough color in there to avoid any crossovers. (Did you know
there are about a hundred or more shades of Sepia? It's hard to choose which you
like best!  Start with about a 20 Yellow 10 magenta mix, and spread out from
there.

How did your e mail address come about?
