Jerry,

My lightly-selenium-toned Kodak Polymax Fine Art (fiber paper) prints in
Dektol 1:2 usually give me a real-world dmax of 1.9.  I can get 2+ on test
strips, but with the low-contrast toe that characterizes wet prints, one has
no contrast down there.  So, in real prints 1.9 is about it.  Some papers
might have marginally higher, but I think this Kodak paper is competitive.
