The C (dark carbon) is somewhat less dense than the M.  On Premier Art 205 C
D=1.14, M D=1.21.  On Photo Rag C D=1.25, M D=1.35.

So, either the swabbing is throwing off the readings a bit or your C is too
light.

Most of the MIS QC issues have been traced to a too-light LK from their
supplier.  C is 75% LK.  So, that could be the problem.
