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?
