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

I think the matte and glossy dmaxs are not entirely comparable.  
Reflections in typical display conditions significantly reduce the 
effective depth of glossy blacks.  In typical display, a good matte 
print under glass looks very similar to a glossy print under glass (and 
it's a lot easier to tape hang a matte print than it is to dry mount a 
glossy one).
