Digital BW, The Print

hmmmmmm......I am definitely NOT a numbers guy, but why is it that 
people say that  H. Photo rag has something like 1.67 Dmax, which is 
darker than 1.4 by a fair amount, but on costco glossy, my blacks are 
way darker than with Photo rag, and that is with no eboni, just the 
dark greys? Is that because glossy just seems blacker?
