I find it a bit amusing that the Piezo inksets are just starting to move in
the direction of tonal control -- six years after my "Variable Piezo"
approached allowed some of us on the Piezo list to do split tones at will.

I've come to see split tones as a useful profiling tool that is easy to
over-do.  When the tonal differences become obvious to the viewer, it starts
to look like a gimmick.  As such, I tend to limit the amount of the tonal
shifts to the point where the viewer really is not that aware of them.
