Dmax Dmax, short for maximum density, is a term used in the context of printing and digital imaging to describe the maximum achievable density or darkness of a printed or displayed image. It represents the blackest tone or the highest level of opacity that can be achieved in a printed or displayed image. Dmax is influenced by various factors, including the quality of printing materials, ink absorption, paper texture, and the capabilities of the printing or display device. Achieving a high Dmax is desirable in printing because it ensures rich, deep blacks and enhances overall contrast and image quality. |
