  Hi Roger,

  VM-Sepia has been my major inkset for quite a while.  In my 1160 I'm
  using the off-the-shelf set; I've been customizing the set in my 7500
  to fine tune the exact color/tone that I would like.

  I haven't used FS-N but my understanding is that VM-Sepia grays are
  identical color to the FS-N,  so with no toner you would get the same
  result as using the FS-N inks.  The sepia toner is a very warm color so
  it's possible to go quite warm if that's what you like.  With QTR you can
  go quite a bit more in that direction than Paul Roark's curves.

  My personal goal has been to introduce a small amount of the sepia to
  neutralize the excessive cold tone (IMO) of the grays.  To my eyes, the
  path from cold grays to warm sepia passes slightly to the greenish side
  so I've customized my sepia toner by adding a lot of magenta ink.  In
  the neutral range I really like the new color, but the strong sepia  may
  be a bit magenta.

   Thanks Roy, that is very helpful. Which magenta do you use for the
tweaking?
