On the other hand, Eboni performs better than UC MK on some papers.  And
there are printer-to-printer variances.  We need a large chart to keep track
of all of these variables.

With respect to mottling, I've noticed that the same coatings that perform
well on a cotton substrate sometimes mottle on a wood-based paper substrate.
I'm suspicious the cotton absorbs water better and is helping the coating in
this function.
