Digital BW, The Print

My limited experience when printing with Photo Black and Epson Pr. Luster using only the 
two blacks(QTR-warm) was heavy metamerism of the light black such that when viewed at 
an angle, the mid-tones looked etched.  So extreme, you will either hate it or love it.  I 
think there once existed some B&W traditional paper which gave a sort of silver and black 
look.  Reminds me of that look but with warm tones.
