RE: [Digital BW] Dmax: how much of a difference do I see ?

2008-12-29 by E Neilsen

Marco, Not everyone is obsessed with the pursuit of Dmax as the most
important aspect of their print. What a good strong Dmax does for you is
give you the ability to expand the tonal scale. Does it really matter to the
quality of the print? Some yes, some not.  So while it can be a worthwhile
part of  the workflow and printing process, I believe that there are many
other issues that need to be addressed ahead of an absolute Dmax goal.
