I decided to redo the HSB print with the "matte" setting. EDN is now giving me H=40 as optimum, so it's all over the place. I've seen H=330, H=270, H=220, etc. I'll have to do more samples to make sure this is right, but here's the scan:

OK....so it does look like the densest color is indeed black, as the cleanest blocks are the one in the top row - which are all RGB = (0,0,0). At least to the accuracy of 10% steps.
I also ran the Color Blocker 3.0 on Mhrar's site with your scan without any problem (so earlier failure on my part must be something to do with the file I was using to simulate.) It gave me Max Blocking Color HSB of (0,100,0) which is RGB = (0,0,0). And Optimum Blocking Color HSB of (340,100,0). I downloaded the two LUTs. And they both are give a reddish step wedge starting from black - the utility of which I don't completely understand. To me, the all black strip in the above scan (H=360, all the way to the right) looks the best.
