Ha! Same story here, but it was Record Rapid that Agfa ruined by taking 
out all the noxious Cadmium, then withdrawing half the grades, and which I 
now sort-of emulate using a B9180. On Harman FB AL it is very close, if 
only the surface was a little subtler.

As far as I know what you want is outside the scope of pure carbon. Jon 
Cone's Piezography Selenium inks were an approximation, but I was never 
happy with the DMax, paper fussiness (matte only, and only HPR really 
suited me), or the interminable Epson clog problems I had from printing 
intermittently.
