I'd like to put together a portfolio and I hope that somebody can elucidate about how can I get nice prints from slides -- kind of 10 x 16 paper size with white frame around the picture --, that can compare to the quality of those you can see in those well printed photobooks. I'm not too enthousiastic about the "glossy" and the "pearl" quality even of Cibachrome. I mean I love the colors but not really the paper surface. I have the feeling my eyes are skating on it. I'd like a result like you can obtain in b/w using fiber-based paper (semi-matte). Is digital printing the only alternative method given the variety of papers available? Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Federico
