Chris,
Good to hear from you again. Lumen prints tone very well. You tone after
exposure, before fixing. Toning is very much dependent on the paper that you
use. Warm tone forte paper tone beautifully in gold or platinum toner
preserving a lot of delicate color hues that arise during long exposures.
See some examples
