You know...everybody says this, but it's basically a wash.

Right now, Arista II film is $20 for 20 sheets 8.5x11.
Pictorico Premium (TPU-100) is $17.50 at B&H for 20 sheets.
Pictorico Ultra (TPS-100) is $22.

But I've never had any problems getting enough density using the 
Pictorico Premium, so for me, the pictorico is cheaper than the Arista OHP.
