Digital BW, The Print

I looked at the Cone site for the carbon sepia patch, and it looked more
like a fairly warm print to me  - with all of the vagaries that go with a
web image.  With the MIS VM-S inks and the Paul Roark or Keith Krebs curves
the print goes from a true sepia to a neutral b&w, with excellent tonal
range, and on Epson EEM paper yet.  Between that and Portra and Polaroid PN
film, my darkroom is history...
