Well, there are certainly color pigments (I hope -- and not dyes) used to
tone the carbon inks, especially the cool inks.

One question is whether the warm inks are also toned.

How warm is the warm Septone ink?  Is it about like the FS/PiezoBW, more
like the Ultra Tone warm end (plain grays), or warmer than the UT warm/gray
inks?  If it is warmer than the UT grays, then yellow and magenta are
probably used to get it there.
