dmax w/PFP is inferior to ABW

2007-04-06 by dealy663

On my 3800 I have not been able to get dmax much above 1.61 on
Enhanced Matte measured with my PFP spectro when using a color managed
workflow. It doesn't matter whether I'm using a PFP Extended target
profile or the canned one from Epson. However when I'm printing with
the ABW driver I'm getting 1.68.

The ability to tune the profiles is really neat in PFP, but so far
this seems like a deal breaker when it comes to BW output. 

Does anyone have any suggestions about what can be done to get the max
black out of the system when using color mgmt?
