Re: And the (Dmax) Winner Is....

Hmm. Steve, I presume these numbers are for Fiba Glossy F Warm. With 
the "cool" version of the paper and my 4000 loaded with 4800 PK, I 
have not hit these astronomically high numbers after GLOP. I control 
ink density with QTR, and the GLOP I use is from another source. 
Maybe I should try the MIS GLOP? Maybe the 3800 dither also helps?
