Digital BW, The Print

Here's a link snipped from a old post of Paul's: "The new MIS 
VM-Sepia variable-mix/tone inkset covers the range of neutral to 
sepia tones, and may be something you'd want to consider.  For a 
sample of the tonal range, see

Remember you can get tones in between these two extremes with the 
other two, intermediate curves. Plus tweaks with the yellow slider, 
to say nothing of whole new curves of your own.

Also, I've had some success printing with the ink set without any 
curving at all and even without any conversion to GS - but find it 
unpredictable and wouldn't call always call it "sepia" either, 
because sometimes there's too much color - yellow/orange and faint 
blues -  in the print to call it "sepia".
