Digital BW, The Print

Todd,

I find the MIS VM blacks on Eclipse Satin to be a bit under EAM but 
close. Torchon and HPR have deeper blacks but I don't have a curve 
for them yet. I also like the Eclipse's very neutral tone and bright 
neutral white (No lavender, blue or green tint). There is a trade off 
here. For me the base white offsets the loss in the blacks. Overall 
the range of the image seems very nice. However, if those brightners 
are going to turn yellow....

I don't know if that helps or not.
