Re: Qtr deeper sepia

2005-05-17 by john dean

I have produced a numbe of sepia tonalities that I really like, actually too 
many for my own good.

I can match the Piezzotone Carbon Sepia exactly, really, exactly, with a 
setting on the 9600 of W-90 and 10- sepia, but this is not a heavy sepia.

One of my favourite colors, and one my clients like is 70 w and 30 sepia.
If you want more intense sepia toward reddish hues you can use 100 % sepia 
or 50 s/ 50w. To cool the sepia you can substitue the  Cool curve for the the 
Warm one. One important observation I could make is that your best results 
will be on papers without optical brightners. Enhanced Matte is not a good 
choice or any other paper that has bluish or cyanish base color. I like William 
Turner the best or the Innova Soft Texture. I don't like warm prints on Photo 
Rag and Premier Art Coldpress does very strange things to the sepia color, 
sometimes even causing a split tone that other papers don't exhibit.
