Here are some Lab readings from my current QTR setup for a neutral curve
(essentially Eboni and a blend of MIS UT7 LC and LM), 100% patch and paper
white:

EAM  18.6 0.7 1.2   97.7 0.8 -4.8
SVE  20.4 0.6 1.6   98.6 0.1  0.0
HPR  18.6 0.3 0.5   97.2 0.5  0.0

So SVE lags in the dMax contest (1.51 vs 1.58), wins the paper white but we
fear the OBAs and, in my opinion, has a lovely texture.

At any rate, dMaxs such as those above ALL look flat compared with c2.4 for
a well engineered RC paper print.  Bottom line, we need a better black ink
for matte paper.

(The curve that produced the above numbers lays down a 95% strength of Eboni
and overlaps a 10% hit of the light grey combo.  I can't get QTR to lay down
a full 100% of any ink without dither issues on my 2100.)
