Thanks Paul

If I wanted to go more sepia / blue, presumably I could use the 1900
and add toners (or replace glop with toner in a 1400).  

I think you've recommended the red and blue from the 1800 / 1900
colour inksets in the past - would these be worth exploring?  Or would
you suggest a sepia toner from one of the variable tone inksets?

(I'm aware that you probably haven't tried some of these combinations
but your guidance would be very much appreciated.)

Thanks

Chris
