I've used selenium toner and sepia toner only. Follow the instructions,
but in general you tone a washed print. You can cheat on this a little by
putting your selenium toner (for example) in with some Orbit wash (or
whatever), but wash the printer pretty thoroughly prior to this.
My recollection is that toners work poorly with RC papers. Selenium
actually enhances the archivability of a paper. Coffee I would think would
not be an archival brew if that matters to you.
