Very true, and well said.  However, it's also true that when you do
have black in an image it's nice to have a good rich deep black
capability in the paper that's there when you need it.  There _are_
differences among papers.  I think the search for Dmax is a valid one.
 How people use it is another matter.  It's a good point.

Clayton
