Digital BW, The Print

John,

Just last night I tested Moab Entrada Bright White and Natural against EEM, Epson Velvet FA, Epson Ultrasmooth, HPR, and PremierArt Hot Press. As expected, all have a different "look", but my initial impression is that I'm really liking the Entrada Natural. My next favorites are the Epson Velvet and Ultrasmooth. Surface and base paper color of Entrada Natural, to my eye/feel, looks nearly identical to Ultrasmooth. But, it seems to print a little "brighter" on my Epson 2200, UC inks, with IP driver.

I'll have to live with these test prints for a few weeks but, so far, I think Entrada Natural will be my new primary paper of choice.

P.S. So far, I've only tested B&W.
