I've got one of Mark's UltraChrome prints, and I have to say, I think
it's just lovely. Sure, I could probably carry it around and compare it
to stuff trying to find something with blacker blacks, but just looking
at it, it looks great, and that's what I plan to do with it. dMax isn't
the end of the world. It might make a print a little more snappy, but it
isn't going to make the image any better, and that's what it's about,
isn't it?

Of course, I can't wait to hear Mark's reaction to Robert's coated
prints, sounds very promising.

Maybe in the next go-round, they'll deal with the matte blacks. For 
me, I'm happy with what I've got. Yes, it could probably be better; I 
just make a habit of never looking at my old MIS dye prints from 
the 7000; that usually takes care of it.

I'm a "coater" kinda guy, so I'm very curious to see what Robert's 
come up with. Even my homebrew OleoPasto helps the blacks a 
great deal. I could continue with that and be happy, but I want to 
see Robert's version, so I can tell people that I coat my prints 
with "a Mayer rod"; I'll kinda raise one eyebrow when I say that, 
and then give a sniff.
