On Epson Enhanced/Archival Matte the FS-N is slightly cool.  The Ultra Tone
with the neutral curve is more neutral, with a hint of magenta, giving it
that "selenium" toned look.

On warmer papers, the FS-N might be closer to neutral and the UT might be a
bit warm.  The curves of the UT inkset, of course, can be tweaked to get a
more even tone than the FS-N.  Some papers, for example, print with cold
shadow tones.

The UT inkset will fade less, although the FS is also non-warming on EEM.

I'm not sure what would cause this.
