A good way to change tones is to change paper, indeed. HahnemühlePhotoRag gives very nice warm tones, for example.
I agree.
For even warmer pictures, you can choose H. Bamboo.
Does Hahnemuhle still make this paper?
Actually, what I found is that while the paper has a warm base, the base to maximum lab B values with Eboni-6 appeared rather low, making the overall print look rather neutral if it were displayed away from a bright white reference. That is, while the absolute maximum warmth of the image may be slightly higher with the Bamboo, when the image is displayed on the wall, with a mat board that is not too bright, the eye will, in effect, do a "white balance" on whatever is in view. As such, the maximum Lab B value relative to the paper white becomes an important variable in how we perceive the print tone warmth. As such, the Photo Rag Eboni-6 image will probably look warmer than the Bamboo image if they are displayed on the wall away from a bright white reference.
