The lack of a yellow limits only the warm side.  There, however, I've
printed a very nice warm with ABW settings (30, 68).  On Crane Silver Rag,
this results in a midtone Lab (a, b) of (5, 3.4).  For pure carbon, you'd
have to use QTR.  The (30, 68) setting makes a warm print that does not have
the yellow look of the carbon, which some would see as an improvement.  Of
course, pure carbon would be the most lightfast.

Yes, if the C88 came in larger sizes, it might be the only printer I'd need.
The CSR prints I'm getting from it are as good as any B&W I've seen.
(Though I do still use matte paper for the large prints, and the 220 is
better with matte paper.)
