Re: [Digital BW] Cone Sepia and Selenium inks

2003-01-07 by Evelyn Grant

Thanks for the reply Eleanor. I'm just not getting any
brown tones at all with the carbon sepia inks. Just
very warm b&w. I'm not familiar with the Agfa Classic,
in the darkroom I used Kodak Ektalure paper and it
would tone a gorgeous golden brown with brown toner.
I'm going to try the MIS VMS inks and see what I get
from them. Thanks again.
