Digital BW, The Print

I too have made prints with the MIS VM inks. However, I would not 
recommend them. After prints that I made with the warm and medium warm 
curves where exposed to indirect daylight for a few weeks they started 
to warm and continued to warm to an unattractive tone. Other users have 
reported that prints made with VM inks using the cooler curves don't 
warm. I had heard of this warming effect before I began using the inks 
but I was surprised to the degree of warming that occurred in such 
relatively  little time and with such moderate light exposure.

For this reason alone I would use the MIS UT inks that are reported to 
be "non warming". In addition I am finding that the tonal options that 
are possible with the UT inks are much more pleasing than the VM inks.
