Digital BW, The Print

I print Legion Photo Matte with an 1160 using the original MIS quad inkset &
the Brandin EAM curves. Strangely, 100% black "solarizes" & views much
lighter, almost a bronzing effect. Those prints look horrible. But if I add
a PS Levels adjustment & back off one unit from black, I get great-looking
prints, with better snap than EAM & nice, neutral tones (for that inkset).
These are my visual impressions - I have no instruments to back up those
statements.

Also, last time I purchased EAM it was 11.05 at buy.com.
