Are you referring specifically to Epson UC inks with Museo Max or is 
this a generic observation?  The more specific your comments, the 
better.

I spoke to a representative at Crane about my low Dmax on Museo Max the 
other day, and he acknowledged that CMY builds do, in fact, result in 
low Dmax on this paper. He said that using more "MK" ink in the deeper 
tones makes a huge difference.  Since I am using the Epson driver, I 
can't control this, but a full featured RIP would probably bring out 
the best in this paper if his comment is accurate.  I tend to believe 
what he said based on the overall tone of our conversation.  

I'm still trying to get this stuff to sing.  I'd be willing to try MIS 
Ebony if you can give me more specifics.  

Thanks,
