Digital BW, The Print

Geez. See?  So many variables.  Beyond everyone seeing things a little
differently, if we take Roark's densitometer readings into account, the
papers would look different. Both are equally "bright," but one is magenta;
the othe blue. Late afternoon sunlight --in  February-- is extremely warm,
so would make them look different. Ever so slightly.  

What do brighteners do in the densitometer equation? My educated guess is
that the X-rite sees them differently (more equally) than we do while
holding the paper out in daylight.

Seems to me some of the Mitsubishi papers were magenta, so I quit using them
right away.  I think someone said last week that they do some of the
coatings for Epson, so who knows.

Thanks for the feedback.
