Steve,

I don't know if the D-max department is all you & others make of it.

Would you care to enlighten those of us who actually like using this or
other papers that don't measure up in your opinion as to what exactly it is
that makes them inferior as far as print quality is concerned ?

Aside from D-max issues you may have experienced ...

I'm referring to information that is of use to those of us who print without
measuring. Maybe this helps ...  how black does a black have to be if it is
perceived visually to be black.

As far as I'm concerned Somerset can and in my experience does produce some
beautiful prints and good blacks .. I'll agree that this may be down to a
lot of factors including inks, printers, media selection and the like, but I
have difficulty seeing a real problem with this paper.

You statement needs some qualifying and I for one would appreciate more
information than you have provided ...

Or is d-max to some the be all and end all,

I though beautiful prints might come into it ..
