There are a set of four profiles for each paper: warm - K, LK, and LLK inks i.e. carbon only neut - neutral tone throughout the range cool - cool tone sepia - a reddish brown sepia (mix with warm for more yellowish) These 4 tones can be split tone is a virtually unlimited range of tones. I'd recommend starting with a neutral and adding others as desired. Split-tone Curve Blending This is a major new capability. There are now three potential curves that can be blended for significantly more flexibility in variable tone inksets Split-tone blending allows separate blending sliders for three sections: highlights, midtones and shadows All blends are smooth transitions from one tone to the next. You have a lot of control for the tones of the various parts of your image. But esthetically it's highly recommended that you use subtle variations. The midtone sliders are probably best used to transtion between the highlights and shadows tones rather than a completely different tone.
