With UT-3D and the 2-grays black generation, using the Epson drivers I'm
getting in the 2.2-2.3 range with Crane Silver Rag and Innova F-Type.  

I don't consider a stable 2.2 dmax low.  It beats most of the old darkroom
prints, and it's very hard to see and the differences once one is in the 2.2
range or above.

Does anyone know if the Canon that achieved 2.5 uses dyes in the black ink?
