It looks like the same results that we've seen with matte v. glossy.  The reflections off the more glossy HP-PK surface block the technically higher dmax from being seen in normal viewing.  The lower gloss MIS coating looks blacker due to relatively lower reflections.

Wasn't that discussed before :-)  The practical value of the highest 
Dmax if it relies on the gloss factor.

My question about the Eboni 2% was not correctly phrased I think. It 
wasn't about the ink channels it occupies but where it ranks in a quad 
set: LLK or LK.
