Myself as well. But even with your QTR tests, if you wanted to neutralize that warmth you'd 
have to introduce some. I see it as a way to make B&W prints on photo surfaces and PK, that, 
for now, will satisfy some people's needs.
Of course something like a K7 that would do it would be much much preferable, but for now 
here we are. And of course, more severe toning requires color ink.

Also, my post was certainly not meant to be a glowing report of ABW, in fact I found it barely 
acceptable. I used it as a marker point to exceed. 
Given the variety of papers we all want to try, and the different taste in hue amongst artists, a 
color management approach to this seemed worth exploring.
