The black and grey UC inks are warm themselves, somewhat similar in tone to
the carbon sepia piezos to my eyes, in order to lesson that warmth you'll
have to blend with a higher percentage of the cooler profiles which have the
color inks come into play. Another thing you might want to look at is a
print using the same percentages you've been using, but on a different
paper, Epson Velvet, photoRag or German etching for example. You'll notice a
slight difference to the apparent tone of the inks due to the difference in
paper white.
