David, If you go to MIS's website>Bulk Inks>Color Swabs then scroll down to near the end of the page, the UT2 and UT7 inksets have a pure carbon ink in them.  In the UT2 it is the Mag/Lt Mag positions and UT7 is the C/LC position (same ink).  You can also see them on the same page as the Sepia toner for those inksets.  (That Sepia toner is heavily colored though.)

That's about as warm as I've seen Carbon get.  

I have some of the UT-7 LC around that I use to warm up and split-tone an inkset that has some of the very cool HP Vivera PK in it.  What I see on my screen of the MIS color swabs (calibrated Viewsonic through OS X) is pretty accurate for the LC position ink.

As I write this a bell is ringing in the back of my head that I have some Cone Sepia around somewhere.  Contact me off list and I'll see what I can come up with for densities.  Let me know what kind of paper you are thinking about: matte/glossy (f type),  bright or natural.

Best, Robert
