Re: [Digital BW] DMax Sanity Check

2005-12-11 by Martin Carrington

Hi Greg,

This was using a 21 step wedge, the max density was at about 85-90%. I
think that the ink may be incorrectly marked. I haven't tried on
glossy but the surface does look a lot like a photo black on matt paper. 

I am reluctant to try another set as this is alresdy the second set
(the first time the Universal black was shipped by mistake - to MIS's
credit they replace them very quickly.)

Thanks for the suggestions

Regards

Martin
