Actually, Piezo prints have a higher dynamic range than silver prints.  You
may be confusing dynamic range with density ratio values.  They are two
different things.  You can have a high density ratio value, but a very low
dynamic range, example is graphics art film...where you get deep blacks, but
no intermediate tones.  Dynamic range is the ability to discriminate between
tones, density range is simply the ratio of the darkest you can represent vs
the lightest.

I can explain this further if anyone wants.

Austin
