Digital BW, The Print

So I've lost track of this thread a little, but just to be clear on HPPK
dmax -
on Glossy HPPK dmax is spectacular with 5% Glop overcoat I get below L*=2 on
Epson Trad and IGFS.
BUT if you increase Glop much over 5%, dmax starts to reduce dramatically
and ultimately you can see a white haze on the shadows.

Also Joost MIS PK as you know is warm, HPPK is neutralish. They are very
different beasts.
You could cool down MIS PK with Cyan but that Cyan would be you achilles
heel in terms of fading.

On matte HPPK is about 50% density of Eboni.
