I just received IFBG, not yet loaded, and wonder whether to get HFAP. 
IFBG looks dead white to me, which I don't much like for B&W (very 
personal). Do you have readings of Paper White for both ?
I'm not sure "visible" K Dmax is that different between 2.26 and 
2.40, but can be wrong plus texture can impact significantly : what 
do you "see" ?
Last, can I ask what RIP you use.
Thanks for posting your findings.
