RC does seem to look better with a cool tone.  The HP B&W ink/media do this,
for example.  On the other hand, most of the good B&W calendars use a dead
neutral, sometimes with a very slight "selenium" (magenta) bias.

On reason the EZ and UT-FSN inksets are a bit on the cool side with matte
paper is to achieve a good RC tone.
