Digital BW, The Print

Ken,

Thanks for your reply. It's great to get confirmation
that I'm seeing things correctly :). Looks like once I
run thru these Cone sepia inks I'll be switching to
the MIS VM-S inks. I kind of feel like we're all being
misled by Cone calling these inks sepia. They look
more like what I used to get in the darkroom on
Kodak's Ektalure paper before I toned it. I have been
so satisfied with their quadtones for black & white
that I just assumed I'd be thrilled with the sepia
ink. Ah well, live & learn.
