Paul:

Nice work Paul.


Is the FSN just FS with cyan?

And which cyan?

And to what do you attribute the lack of fade?

I have been playing with both sets on different papers
with q-tip swabs and I seem to get so much ink down
I'm not seeing the normal warming even with FS.

Is the FSN cyan position a hair denser than FS cyan?

I am thinking about a split tone set using:

K=FS Black
C=80%FSN-20%FS
M=30%FSN-70%FS
Y=FS


Now I can cheat little and put your jpeg
into layers for simulation.


Thanks!
