Fiba seems to have a lot less OBA on it, which makes it much more 
pleasant to look at (at least to me). Somewhere I have spectral 
graphs of the paper white of a rather large selection of papers, 
that's one of the first things I do when I try a new paper. That also 
means I have a pretty fat swatch book of papers that I've tried, most 
with a profile target printed on it. The unfortunate part is that I 
changed inks part way through, and changed spectro's too, so it's a 
little bit oranges to grapefruits I still need to retest a few papers 
(canvas) to make sure I gave them a fair chance, the Innova papers is 
one group, and several of the Hawk Mountain are the other (of the 
ones that I'll mention at this time).
