I don't know.

They are a hair dark.  50% should be at 0.61, whereas it's 0.67 with the
vm-sepia hex inkset I received from MIS.  I have not checked the densities
of the individual inks to see if it is the inks or if the curves are just
not quite right for the inkset.  Even when densities of inks are the same at
one level of application, they may be different at a different level or
amount of application.  The absorption characteristics of the pigments do
vary.
