Digital BW, The Print

I just printed some Moab Entrada Fine Art Natural 190.  It is another cotton
paper with no optical brighteners, and the price at Inkjetgoodies might make
it about the most affordable cotton paper (now that Eclipse Satine is gone).

There are also 300 weight and brightened versions of this paper.

The paper looks a lot like the new Epson/PremierArt paper.  The "natural,"
no OB surface is, nonetheless, very bright, measuring a visual 0.02, with
yellow up 0.02, giving it a bit of a creamy appearance.  The paper has the
same dmax of 1.60-1.62 with the 1280, UltraTone inks, Eboni black at 1440
(white paper under the test sheet when reading the density).

The UltraSmooth/PremierArt curves just posted seemed to be very close to
what this paper needs.

I don't think they are the same paper, however.  The Entrada has some
roughness in the shadow tones, and I did have some flaking of the surface.

So, as just a very initial reaction, I'd say its another good cotton paper
option and a worthy replacement for Eclipse Satine.
