The term also applies to digital images, although the mechanics of it are obviously rather different. :) If you can honestly compare the blacks in those photos and say you can't see any difference then I guess it's not a problem. “Plugging,” in printer terms, means putting down too much ink and so losing the details.

The scans are quite accurate, kodachrome is a very saturated and contrasty film, and the blacks do come out very black. Thinking again, perhaps you mean that the photos are too contrasty.

The blacks are coming out black now, rather than a washed out grey, and I can't see that any detail has been lost. Compare the old scanner photos, and you can't see any detail there either.
