DMax and Profiles

2007-01-12 by tech4x5

I am using PrintFix Pro 2.0 and have been very happy with the 
profiles it has made.  When I view Epson Enhanced Matte and Moab 
Entrada Natural prints, the prints are right on and have a full range 
of tones.  But when I look at Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet(by Legion) 
prints, they don't seem to pack as much punch.  When I look at the 
blacks in these prints, the black is clearly not as black.  I measured 
the DMax in the papers and it is in the 1.90 range with EEM and 
Entrada, but is in the 1.60 range with the Somerset PE Velvet.  These 
measurements goes along with what I visually see.  
     Is it your experience that Somerset Photo Enhanced Velvet yields  
lower DMax's, blacks that aren't as black, or cold I be doing something 
wrong?  Thanks.
