Digital BW, The Print

I've had a box sitting around here for a while and got hold of it a couple of days ago to create some QTR profiles. I was surprised at the dmax I'm getting (or lack thereof). 1.55 seem to be the best I can get with ebony. I used it in the past (in roll) and I seem to remember I was getting better values than this. What kind of numbers do other people get?

> I've been looking for a non-OBA paper to use with a mix of HP PK and Eboni for my more neutral printing. (I'm moving away from all OBAs.)  The Aurora Natural looks like a real bargain.  Here are the relative costs of some papers for 13x19 sheets:
> 
> Aurora Natural -- $1.34,
> 
> Arches watercolor -- $1.70,
> 
> Alise Natural -- $2.24,
> 
> Premier Art 325 -- $2.75.
> 
> The Aurora N actually seems to have the lowest Lab B of the group, which is a positive factor for my use.  The Aurora is on the thin side (13 mils) but it's thicker than the 200 gsm paper I've used with good results.
> 
> Does anybody have any bad news relating to Aurora Natural?  It seems like a bargain.
