Lightjet vs. Ultracrhome was Re: [Digital BW] Suggestions on large black and white output?

Robert,

FWIW, I found an area at density 2.2 in a recent gloss LightJet I had done.  It was NOT 
an area that was completely without detail, so I assume the actual dMax is greater.  
This puts it up pretty high, but is not conclusive...
