Digital BW, The Print

It sounds like the ink is correct.  Carbon's gamut is very low yellow, just
a bit right of the Lab b axis.  However, a pure carbon image on a paper like
Crane Silver Rag is sufficiently warm that I've lost interest in the sepia
inks I once used. Of course, another factor for my shifting away from the
sepia is its relatively low fade resistance.

Well...

It looks warm but it's hard to see that this is "yellow" at all.

It looks more like a deep beige and it is around the same density as LK when
when looking at the print-out from the "purge8" test file from MIS.

I see some yellow in there but it is more like a yellowed tinted gray.

Is this what I should be seeing?

Dave.
