And with some printers, papers, and inks, black reached dmax at any 
reasonable pattern or dot size... making life simple. But if running that 
sheet of paper through again, and printing a second layer of black ink in the 
same spot makes a patch that is darker than one that is not overprinted, then 
life is not so simple; and various methods of adding ink to the simple max 
black (bigger dots, more dots, a second black ink, or a dark gray ink or mix 
of other inks added, double strike printing, etc...) may increase your dmax.
