My idea of "comparable" is pretty flexible.   I want a print
which has a smoothly-graded complete range of tonal values
from black to white, and is neutral and free of artifacts like
blotching, metamerism and dotting.

I want to be able to produce such prints consistently, with
no more of a learning curve than it took to learn basic
darkroom printing, and without voiding the warranties, or
damaging the heads on my printer(s).
