Re: Matching the tone of lenswork magazine?

Brooks mentioned it on the lenswork forum

"Actually, there are three distinctly different tones in LensWork, 
each created from a different set of duotone curves. All three use 
only black ink and Pantone Warm Grey 11C ink, but have different 
ratios of the two. In house, we call them "neutral warm," "sort of 
warn," and "very warm." Look carefully and you'll see the differences. 
We choose the tone for each portfolio that we think will be compliment 
the subject."
