Have you seen the sample of the sepia-neutral inkset?  Go to the Files
section of the forum.  It's at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/files/

Then click on the "Message Related Files" link and see the image,
"VM-Sepia3-N3.jpg."  This shows the range that the new variable-tone inkset
will cover.

I re-print old photos and do landscapes.  For the home I prefer neutral
landscapes.  But, for the old photos, I think this sepia tone looks great.
Now I can really match the look of the old photos.

(I note also that the neutral test strips I've had in the fader from this
inkset show the least fade of any third-party ink I've tested.  They are in
the 2000P range.  Also, because there is no toner in the neutral test strip,
the 5% patch on my 1160 test strip is actually smoother than the Piezo test
strip 5% [Piezo won on 10% though] -- the point is, it's very smooth.)
