Thanks paul and everyone else that replied, sorry i got the acronyms mixed
up =). Paul, what u said about the neutrality of vm-sepia is quite
intriguing indeed, however isnt it true that the tonal range of vm inksets
will suffer somewhat since one of the colours is a toner?? so ligther tones
on the print might not appear as smooth as FS-neutral ones?
