When I scan Eclipse and EAM, MIS VM test strips together, and put the EAM
100% black level at 100%, the Eclipse reads only 95%.  In a similar
comparison, Museo comes in at about 97%.

Paul, what does torchon and wells river read for blacks?  On the
traveling portfolio, the deepest black of all the prints is wells river,
but of course that scuffs and flakes.

Paul,

The difference I'm observing isn't great, but I'm not sure I can 
visually distinguish a 2%-point difference. I need to do my 
comparison using one of the neutral curves and see if the same 
differences are apparent. All I need to do is find the time...
