Digital BW, The Print

I just read Sarah's post. Although I have never been published in
LensWork, nor have I had the opportunity to hold one copy in my hands,
I remember Paul Roark's mentioning in this PDF:

http://paulroark.com/BW%2DInfo/R1800-OBA-Papers.pdf 

"Split tones with warm shadows characterize many papers, and many are
somewhat reminiscent of the tones used by LensWork magazine. (Compare
also the Premier Art Matte BW, above, which has about the same degree
of split tone in Lab B, but is cooler.)"

I suggest you read this as it might be the look you are searching for.
I use Premier Art Matte BW and there is a definite split tone there. 

And the 3MK with Eboni ink is very inexpensive in terms of ink cost. I
just do all my prints this way now. Then comes the great paper
chase... that you'll find on Clayton's website. :-)

Good luck in your quest,

Denis Bouchard
