Digital BW, The Print

I just scanned the papers on a flat-bed, with lowered exposure 
setting, used levels to accentuate the differences. Here is what I 
found:

New paper: R/G/B = 188/188/173 (definitely blue-deficient)
Old paper: R/G/B = 189/189/189 (dead-neutral!)

It does not seem to be brightner problem. Both papers glow just as 
much, visually under black light.

What's up? Arghhh.
