Digital BW, The Print

Then there must also be magenta involvement...and not just a little ink...it
takes a lot of magenta and cyan to get to the selenium tone shade. The
selenium tones have an eggplant undertone that would definitely require
magenta as well as cyan...in fact more magenta...but you may not be able to
see the dots in the shadows.  Other users seem to be describing the epson
RIP prints as quite warm, however...so I'm not sure what's going on here.
What I am absolutely sure of however, is that the light black and black inks
by themselves are well on their way sepia.  I have a light black and black
ink only 2200 print sitting next to a Selenium piezotone print as well...and
they are nothing alike.
