I just checked with MISPRO PK on da vinci on a 4000.  The ink limit 
for dmax was about the same point as you find, but density was over 
2.1. I would not like to give a reading as I use an old, slightly 
flaky, lab densitometer that is really only any good for relative 
measurements - but the patch is also visually darker than the 2.07 
patch on a recent calibrated step wedge.  
The ink is a mixture of the last of a pint bottle about 6 months old 
and a bottle 1 month old.  The paper was purchased about 3 weeks ago - 
it is a 17" roll. I'm still getting to know it (but am generally happy 
with it for some subjects).
