If you read Roark's workflow for the MIS VM inks he tells you you can adjust
the tone of the print a bit by using the sliders in The PRINTER dialog box
(under "advanced" click "color controls" and you'll see the sliders). For
example I like the Med warm tone but slightly less warm so I slide the
Magenta slider +10.
