Digital BW, The Print

This is getting out of hand, let me try and help.

My Ilford Studio RIP does not recognise the Matte Cartridge, in fact it 
hangs the system. This has been amended in version 2 but the company is 
experiencing a little local difficulty as we say in England. I am trying 
to establish the Dmaxes for both or either Matte and Photo Black. I have 
measured the Photo Black version at 1.36 which is a little low. I am 
curious if I am alone, great claims are being made for the paper and I 
am trying to see if they are justified. It has nothing to do with what 
is best,. On other paper I find that switching from Photo to Matte 
shifts the Dmax up by about 0.16 units which _might _place EUSFAP at 
around 1.52, not bad but not earth shattering either.

Sorry for causing so much stress, I thought it was a simple enquiry!
