I looked into the dmax numbers a little, and I thik I have a vague 
idea of why they are getting such low numbers. It might (stress 
might) be simply a difference between the measurement mode being 
used. Most of us are using Status T for density, yet the Xrite 810 
says it uses Status A (reflection and still has a 2.5D spec), while 
they may be using Status E measurements to reach the 2.7D. I saw a 
fleeting reference to the difference between Status T and Status E 
being that the E value may be lower. I haven't had the time to go and 
research it yet, so if someone knows what the differences are, or has 
the time to go looking, there might be an answer.
