Digital BW, The Print

This evening's entertainment was making a warm/sepia version of the
variable-tone inkset.  It uses the standard MIS VM inks and curves, except
that it uses a sepia toner instead of the bluish toner.

I printed and scanned my Oceano Dunes with the normal 4 MIS VM  curves.
I've asked Martin to post it in the Files section of the forum.  The name of
the file is "VM-Sepia."  I assume it will be in the Message Related Files
section sometime tomorrow.

The sepia toner formula is 4 parts Yellow pigs (the newer, much more
fade-resistant version sold by MIS as "FS yellow"), 2 parts magenta pigs, 3
parts MIS "25" and 3  parts MIS clear base.

It's not quite perfect, but not a bad start if people are interested in such
an inkset.

The VM inkset goes both ways -- in fact, about any way you want it to.
