BD,

Better means, of course, prints that I prefer.   They are subjectively 
better.   They might also be objectively better (finer detail that can be 
measured, a fuller range of the gray scale that can be measured, usw), but 
that is not what I am interested in.   I am interested in how they look to 
me, and glossy fiberbase prints, airdried, have a look that I just love, and 
I have never produced, nor seen, an inkjet print that has anything like that 
look.

Bob
