The Sepia3 mix is a brew that you'll have to mix yourself for now. The mix formula for Sepia3 has been published, and it can be used with the MIS VM gray inks and the existing curves. (It can utilize the stronger toning curves that I have available for some printers to get even darker.) With the existing MIS VM gray inks, the range is sepia to standard MIS quad-tone/MIS VM "warm." If and when I finalize the Sepia-to-Neutral range variable-tone inkset, it will have a neutral base (see FS-N1 sample) and have the more resistant-to-warm-shifting (see X3 sample and posts) characteristics. This will then likely be available in pre-mixed form. (That is, MIS is very interested.) Paul http://www.PaulRoark.com
