Digital BW, The Print

I mix my own <G>.
Actually, the cool side is Selenium. But the warm side is my own mix
of the WN and CS sets. Neither seemed exactly right.
If you notice, there is a great deal of sense to the way IJM pairs
their dual sets. Selnium + WN, and CN + CS.
These sets have more likelyhood of meeting in the middle in a pleasing
way.
With only two tanks open, I'm not sure what to suggest. Since you are
happy with your UC Sepias, that seems to sugget the WNs, but I'n not
sure which two densities would be most useful.
What could be more interestin, 2 from the CN set to do subtle all cool
blends. The Seleniums really are a bit warm by silver standards. I
just printed a whole show for someone with the CN set, and was
suprised at how nice the set is.
Maybe the two light inks, so you have those Selenium shadows.
