Digital BW, The Print

The paper I was profiling was the Premier Art "Matte BW" (formerly called
Premier Matte or dual matte 210).  Perhaps the higher load it can take
explains the much better dmax it gets than the PA 205.  Premier Art has put
the apparently new coating on the Hot Press 325 also.  One poster here also
indicated the 270 is getting the high dmax, but I have not yet tried that.
It's only coated on one side and might be a lot easier to feed than the
relatively stiff double coated 325.

Entrada had a coating that was similar to the PA 205, so I'm not surprised
it also could not handle the higher load.  Likewise, it never had a very
good dmax in my experience.

> You must be have a better Eboni...

No, it's probably the paper differences that we're seeing.
