Hi Bob,

I do think that the premium paper both looks and feels better.

As for sharpening, I don't apply any. If you think that the images are not 
sharp enough in the small 7x7 size, then something is wrong--either the 
images are not sharp to begin with or something went wrong in the printing 
process.

I love Blurb and use it at my basic "printer" these days, but I have heard 
people complaining of occasional quality problems. Have not had any myself, 
though.

Cheers,
Nathan
