Actually, how would Ultrasmooth be?  (James Parker also suggested 
this)  I know the MFA in Boston uses it (and a 9600 with Ultrachrome 
inks) for their reproductions and I've seen them and they look very 
good.  Luminous landscape gave it a good rating for dMax.    What are 
the downsides?   I know it's a "natural" white, not a "bright" white, 
but I don't think I'd miss the OBA's.  Experiences?
