Digital BW, The Print

I find the neutral inks too cool and quite bluish on many papers.  I 
recommend having one dark and white light ink warm, the other light 
and dark cool and yellow cool.  

I have warm in magenta/light magenta, cool ink cyan/light cyan and 
cool in yellow and find it neutral.  I hope to create some ICC 
profiles with the driver slider set to -20C +20M, etc for a 
simplified variable tone inkset.  

I find that just the driver sliders don't give me consistency with 
the Roark ICC workflow.
