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.
