Robert,

You are right. I mistook a reading from an EAM wedge for a reading from a
Photo Rag wedge.

I did some other measurements and got the following:

4 Selenium wedges printed on EAM, Dmax: 1.71, 1.71, 1.71, 1.70
4 Warm Neutral wedges on EAM, Dmax: 1.71, 1.71, 1.71, 1.72

4 Selenium wedges printed on Photo Rag, Dmax: 1.78, 1.80, 1.80, 1.79
4 Warm Neutral wedges on Photo Rag, Dmax: 1.79, 1.80, 1.80, 1.81

This pretty clearly indicates that the Dmax of the Warm Neutral and the
Selenium PiezoTones are the same.

Sorry for the confusion and I am glad I don't need to go off experimenting
with different blacks. I will cross post this to the Piezo list.
