I pulled one into Photoshop and the eyedropper gives me a reading I would
call a light sepia.

These are not nearly as warm as what is on the web page.

This would still probably not be as warm.

The MIS UT7 would give you a variable-tone inkset with a sepia toner that
you can modify as needed.  The standard sepia is 84% light carbon ink, 8%
MIS 7600 M and 8% 7600 Y.  By altering the ratio of the M & Y, you can make
a custom sepia tone.  The 2200/2100 separate and easy-to-fill carts make all
this real easy and cheap.

(Nice shots, by the way.)

My Readme file on the UT7 is at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/UT-2200-Readme.htm ; my general index of
printing information is at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm .

Have fun.
