Digital BW, The Print

Terry,

I also had a version  of the inkset with Y installed, though I never
profiled it for  warmer tones.  So there are no ready made profiles.

I think I'd be sure to stay with Epson color inks for lightfastness.

I found the 100% carbon on glossy paper was the answer for  more warmth.
 I'm not sure if there is a better non-OBA baryta type paper that might be
more  "matte" like than the Silver Rag.  If I were doing very warm prints
now, I'd look for such a paper.
