Roy,

No I have not tried the dilutions. I have however again communicated
with Paul Roark and his recommendation for a sepia toner remains
8%    7600 Yellow
8%    7600 Magenta
30%  UT light gray
54%  7600 Base

It is from that that I suggested my dilutions. However the 7600 colour
inks are diluted by MIS for use as UT. I agree with you to leave the
gray ink out of the mix and just let QTR take care of it. I'll probably
off with a 50% dilution of the 7600 inks and see where it goes.

Thanks for your input.
