I have used the Cone NK7 inks in an R800 now for some time and haven't 
felt a lack of dmax in my prints except when compared side by side with 
a similar print using MIS Eboni on the same (matt) paper.  The 
smoothness of this inkset has more than made up for this for most 
images though.  Now, however, I would like to try to improve the dmax 
if that is possible.  I use QTR for this printer/inks with the standard 
Cone curves and generally use either Bradford Rag or HM Photorag papers.
Have you tried simply increasing the black in PS using levels or curves? I 
have no problem with Dmax using NK7 when the image has deep blacks.
