Thak YOU ALL for your very interesting answers !
------------------------------------------------
Can you elaborate on what you meant by "Deep Black Beauty", which I assume you were referring to HWM on 1280? How "deep" is the black, i.e. which zone, or rgb values? Color or b/w? Which profile? What kind of image, i.e. deep black without shadow details, or deep black with shadow details? Without these context info, answers are meaningless.

"Deep Black Beauty"
No 1:
It is a kind of black color on a surface.
And it is really deep black.
( And RGB = about (0,0,0) )
When I compare it with the R2880 black.
I would say it looks as if the R2880 print was
treated with some UV protection spray. A Very delicate
spray but still taking that "velvet-cloth-feeling"
away.
It may be that the pigmet-color have to act that way.
And if so probably no other paper-surface will be better.
Question: ----------------------------------------------------
Is there a more "velvet-cloth-feeling" to the Velvet Fine
Art Paper than to the Heavyweight Matte Paper ?
I mean like velvet-cloth. Imagine really black velvet cloth.

No 2:
It also takes details in the blacks away.
This is quite strange. But it will in some way indicate that it is
more than a surface-feling. It indicates that the deepest black
on the R2880-print is not as black as the 1280-print.
But the gradation in the shadows is far far better with the R2880.
(Se my recent post: My R2880 arrived Germany / (Mini-Review)+QUESTIONS)
------------------------------------
So i would say it is both a feel of the surface (a surface without a spray layer)
and the blacks has a higher Dmax.
