Digital BW, The Print

Assuming you are using Paul Roarks curves, (He has 5, from cool to warm,
with the MIS VM Inkset), you would select the area you want to be warm,
and with a photoshop adjustment curve, make a curve with his warm curve.
Then inverse your selection, and make another adjustment layer using his
cold curve. Resulting print will be part cold and part warm.

To keep the trasitions fairly gentle, you may want to "feather" the 
selections before applying the curves.

Norm,

Basically, a split-tone uses cool/neutral ink in one area and warm ink in
another area.

I have a sample of a split tone at:

However, with my monitor the effects of the two tones is hard to see.

Another way to do split-tone, when using a color inkset, is, in 
Photoshop, with your BW image in RGB mode:

Choose SELECT>COLOR RANGE, and then choose 
MIDTONES. Go into one of the individual color channels and with 
LEVELS, slide the middle gamma triangle one way or the other. 
Then DESELECT that selection, and repeat the process, but this 
time choosing HIGHLIGHTS, and then swing those tones a 
different way, with a different color channel. With HIGHLIGHTS, 
you might even use CURVES instead, and pull down the 
highlight so that it contains some tone now. 

The variations are endless. But the splittone effect is easy with 
this method, (if you're using color inks, 2200 etc).

It's pretty clear on mine Paul.. Very emotionally mixed print, love the 
warmth of home juxtaposed to the danger/moodiness of the ancient forest 
- great piece!
