Digital BW, The Print

Hello Mike,

>So the problem with dmax is that its paper AND ink dependent, as you know.

Yes, same with VFA but in the other direction.  It's good but lower than HPR with Eboni, but it tops all others at 1.75 with K3.  It's been my #1 paper since I began using the 2400.  This Alise Natural is a VERY welcome addition.


>I am getting L= 14.0 - 14.2 very similar to what Paul is getting with the Alise Natural.

Is there a formula for translating these L numbers into Dmax numbers like 1.7 etc that Steve's Colorimeter produces?  I look at these 14.x numbers and they have no meaning for me.

Thanks for the report.  BTW, I just posted a revision about the color tone in my original report.  Dumb mistake.

Regards,
Clayton
