How to measure DMax on prints with a scanner

2007-04-11 by jcpeos

hey,
I tried to find on the QTR group an answer on this question but ...
(my wife is certainly right when she say "on the sea you aren't able to 
find water...")
BTW
thks roy for this QTRip I - atleast- succed to get quite good B&W 
prints with
R1800
Lyson R8 inks
Moab Papers

I've post my profiles to the files directory (hope our moderator will 
agree on ;-)

I just wonder if it's possible to measure the DMax (no matter if it's 
with calculation) with a scanner (mine has a Dmax of 3.8 - Epson 
Perfection 4870 Photo - )
my Matt prints got White L#94 to 98 Black L#9 to 14 (depending on paper)
My Glossy ones White L#99 Black L#9

is that possible to calculate the Dmax? 
if yes How doing that?

Thks & good prints
