Duotoning Question: Warming Up A Print

| I want to duotone some black and whites to look similar to the warm tone I
get with traditional black and white materials (Kodak Illord et al.) I find
the blacks in my Epson printer tend to look a little on the blue/cool side.
What second colour works well for toning warm. Thx.

It can be very hard to predict what will work in a composite print; each
type of printer has its own way of rendering spot colours. But a
'traditional' approach would probably be to use one of the Pantone Warm
Gray series as a second colour to add depth to the midtones, together
with a contrasty black.

Sounds like a good starting point. Thx.
