Sepia-Neutral ink set on www.frankgross.com (was Re: [Digital BW] prints looking "muddy")

2002-08-12 by Sam A. McCandless

Frank's daughter must be good: his web site serves his images up 
fast, even on my slow connection, and the site looks good too.

I'm curious to know whether all the images shown were printed with 
the MIS VM Sepia-Neutral ink set, even the ones which don't look like 
sepia? One thing I like about Sepia-Neutral is how neutral its 
neutral is.
