Digital BW, The Print

Shilesh,

The yellowness you measured in the new EAM is more than I'd think would be
an acceptable manufacturing variance.

I got worried and checked a new roll of EEM that I recently received.  With
the X-Rite it measured exactly the same as my letter-size EAM from Atlex
some months ago -- CMY = 0.04, 0.04, 0.03.

  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.
