Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

paper is a big factor in dmax. You may get more accurate feedback here
if you mentioned what densities you achieve at 100% and on what papers.
Also, dmax varies depending on how the profile is made.
And you may compare different drivers to see which works best for your papers -
such as the Epson driver, IJC/OPM, Imageprint etc.
