There is a slight "selenium" (magenta) bias built into the "neutral" inks I
mix.  My target is my lightly-selenium-toned silver prints (Kodak Polymax
Fine Art, Dektol, Rapid Selenium 1:19 2-3 min.).  To be specific, the
midtone density will have spectrophotometer readings such that cyan and
yellow are equal and magenta is up 0.01 unit.  Of course, these are my
targets.  The actual ink in the market may be different.  Getting the
production inks to consistently be on target is an issue that is on the
front burner.
