David,

Switching papers and longevity aren't the issue. The fact is that it
appears ABW gives greater dmax than when printing in color mode via a
standard color managed workflow. I'm not the only one who has noticed
this. As this is the case with EEM I suspect it will be with other
papers also. So the question remains. 

What is it that is happening in the ABW mode that produces greater
blacks, and is there a way to achieve the same density in color mode?
