Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Paul.

I guess I'm a little out of touch, is the 1800-3-MK "neutralized" carbon or is it "natural" warm carbon? 

I'm not so much concerned about warm pigment prints (at this stage, anyway) as I am the neutralized and "selenium" forms of these sets which incorporate magenta and/or blue toners.

What I'm trying to decide is if the safest way to go overall is to use only sepia hue sets for prints of extended stability. Wilhelm has always confused this issue for me by lumping them all together as "black and white" which as we all know vary widely. This is something that Mark at Aardenburg imaging is showing us now in a big way.

I would not expect much difference, since they are the same pigment particles and, unlike dyes, carbon pigments are not significantly affected by dilution.  See for example the test of Jon's Carbon Sepia test (AaI_20090415_SN007Lf).  The delta e is about the same (outstandingly low value) no matter what the Lab L value of the test patch.
