Greg,

This is a good question. I used to use a TR924 which was calibrated
with a 1.78 reference for the span, so my D-max readings with K3 inks
on glossy paper were well away from the calibration point. With that
caveat, the readings were around 2.64 for visual D-max. 

Now I've got a PrintFix Pro, and the readings from that are about 0.05
to 0.10 higher for densities in this range after converting L* to
density. I've decided to get an Eye-One/PM bundle, so I'll remeasure
when I have that.

The high D-max readings were obtained with predominantly K3 PK ink,
with a little K3 LC and R800 blue, coated with Krystal Topkote.

Best,
Helen
