I mostly used Museo Silver Rag to get my "sepia" toned prints with MIS PK,
LK, & LLK.  Like Terry said, expect a Lab B max of about 14 on glossy
papers with MIS glossy carbons.  On matte papers MIS glossy carbons max out
at about Lab B = 8.

There is a graph of the MIS glossy carbon on Museo SR at page 7 of
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/4000-6K-Plus.pdf.

A graph of Eboni-6 on Epson Hot Press Natural is on page 10 of
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf.  Page 11 has graphs of other
papers.  Note that the 1400's small dots print warmer than the 3.5 pl
printers on some papers.  With the 7800 Premier Art BW has a maximum Lab B
=1.

Arches HP has a starting Lab B of 3 and max of 5.

H. Photo Rag goes from about 0 to 4.  This is typical of many matte papers
with Eboni-6.

True sepia can have a max. Lab B of 25, and it's often more red/brown than
the yellower 100% carbon tones.
