Is this why my prints on Luster, Semigloss, and Ilford Glossy look 
so warm with an even mix of "cool" and "warm"? (I'm using the 
semigloss profiles in the latest version.)  The prints on EEM look 
much more neutral.

(To head off a few potential questions:  I'm using Matte K on EEM, 
and Photo K on the RC papers; Epson 2200 printer; and WinXP.)

I like the look somewhat - it reminds me of the UT2 "carbon" look - 
but it would be nice to get back to "gray" if I wanted.
