MIS VM Sepia-Neutral is the ink set I use too. I'm at the other end 
of the spectrum from Paul in terms of both experience and expertise. 
But his work flow is a no-hassle one for me too. And the S-N ink set 
is also an interesting one to experiment with by departing from the 
MIS download work flow, partly because there's a surprising amount of 
muted or subtle color in S-N, in hues that I wouldn't have associated 
with sepia.

Despite some experimentation along those lines, I haven't stumbled 
across a way to switch from neutral to sepia by applying a different 
curve within a single print. And I hope Paul will describe that or 
post a reference to it.
