Digital BW, The Print

Jerry, have you tried printing with it?  It is def. 'purple' toned.  I have printed a number using a variation of this and they aren't sepia.  Remember that that brown he is using is very 'red' and the pale grey is very blue (purple).

  Diane, I went to this site, but what he is calling a selenium tone, is
  actualy a sepia tone. You cannot get a selenium tone with yellow ink. It
  is a Purple/blue color that should be used with the black, not yellow.
