Re: [Digital BW] Successful Users of MIS/Roark VM Inks on Epson 1280?

Howard, I had to print a couple dozen prints for a new gallery
yesterday, and they wanted Sepia.

The VM inksets while warm, aren't fully sepia. The Warm curve is very
close to the regular piezo color. The MIS color Archival pigment inks
are capable of making a beautiful sepia tone print. You can print from
the Duotone mode

Try these colors in the Pantone Duotone presets that come with photoshop:

144 Orange (25% bl4)
159 Dk Orange (25% bl2)

They seem to give the nicest shades of sepia on Aspen, Epson arhival,
Photo Matte and Torchon papers.

All the orange and dark orange numbers (there's four of each) make nice
looking but similar sepia tones. One of them should be just what you are
looking for.

The tones are also slightly different on different papers.
