Re: [Digital BW] matte paper dmax with the 2400/4800

OK, thanks. I'll let him know that maybe he's not that far off the mark 
then. Just seemed strange that the third party inks which are all 
pigment would do better than the OEM ink with its portion of dye. When 
I compared it to what I get with a matte similar to Eboni, it seemed 
real low, I get 1.72 to 1.73 on GE depending on how the spectro reads 
that single patch. If I run the printer at the real full output, this 
ink achieves the 1.7x at about 50%, and holds it all the way to the 
end. Which is one thing Eboni would never do for me, a few steps past 
maximum and the density started to drop again.
