What are you using? A warm picture is anyway preferable to Hell-HOT one!

Interesting! Do you mean Quark XPress? It has a really good print driver (at
least with my image setter works great): if I'm understanding your point,
you tint the GS Tiff with a neutral Pantone Process (CYMK), such as a
process black, changing the percent of each coloured channel (CMY)
accordingly to the dominant cast you see in the print, right?
Hmmmm... I'll give it a go!
Cheers.
