With gloss and numbers like that, nothing at all.

With matte papers and a choice between 1.55 and 1.7 Dmax it 
makes a difference and whether you need that depends on the 
content or what you have to reproduce. I think the quest on 
this list for higher Dmax was directed to matte papers and 
surfaces that came close to analogue air dried papers. Over 
the last 18 months or so the analogue like surfaces with 
high Dmax became available in several choices. There's 
little chance that matte papers will ever get close to Dmax 
numbers like that, they are not available in other and/or 
older printing methods either. So this may be a closed 
subject anyway. Till someone writes that he can make a 
better Dmax with dye inks on matte paper.
