The inks all seem to warm up.  However, some warm more that others.  And
some papers are better than others.

EAM, while cheap, is among the best papers in my fade and warming tests with
pigmented inks.

The MIS blacks are not all the same.  With respect to warming, fading and
depth of black, the MIS FS and VM blacks are the best.  They are the same.
Double density and archival (as in the MIS color inkset) blacks are
different and do not do as well on my tests.  But they are fine inks.

Generations enhanced K warms substantially more and faster, being about 25%
dye.

Try the FS-N inkset.  It should warm noticeably less.
