Eclipse Satine and MIS VM was Re: [Digital BW] MIS VM from Piezo VP3

Todd,

I get a nice black with the MIS VM set on Eclipse Satine. The curve 
isn't a direct match. I need to apply an overall Brightness/Contrast 
layer and darken the image a bit to get a good print on the Eclipse. 
Blacks a maybe bit lighter than EAM but offset by the whiter white.
