If I've calculated correctly, a density of 1.53 is approx. equal to L=20, which is often as dense as one can get with a matte or fine art paper. The diffuse surface is always going to be much worse than PP Satin. With pigment ink printers, using the matte ink, I've measured some paper/ink combinations down to L=15 or so. I've never been able to get below L=18 with my DJ90. The lowest values were obtained using the ImagePrint RIP in CMYK mode, so that I could control the K percentage.
