Jerry,

In my limited experience with VM black, it looks very
dense to me on Photo Rag & EAM/HWM - although I have
no way to actually measure it.

On textured paper of any kind, VM black DOES seem to 
give up a LOT of tonal range - much more than most
"wet darkroom" textured papers ever did.

If you don't mind me asking, what watercolor papers
do you like with the Gen4 black?

Thanks,
Steve Tucker
