Nick,
What paper are you printing on? I find the MIS inks print warm on may papers. I
find that the Hawk Moutain Goshawk is a nice medium warm with these inks and
quite inexpensive. Somerset Photo Enhanced is very warm brown almost like a pure
palladium print in tone.
If I want cooler almost neutral I use Somerset Velvet.
Hope this helps!
Guy
