You will need a surprisingly large amount of magenta filtration,
probably around 75m to get a decent contrast. Also, be prepared
for a surprising amount of grain, as the paper doesn't see the
magenta or yellow layers. Overall though, it works pretty well
for proofing, though colour proofs are probably cheaper.
