Re: QTR-Kayenta-Illum Alpha Smooth Not the Same

2005-03-08 by john dean

How is the surface on the Moab Entrada paper? Is it as tender and flaky as the Hahnemuhle 
textured papers, like Willim Turner and German Etching? I love those papers but you have 
to be gentle with them and I always end up spraying mine. I want to try Moab paper. Do 
they offer samples? and how is its surface rated for permanence.
