Re: Expensive mistake? Photorag Satin

2005-08-10 by Clayton Jones

Hello Colin,

I've been following your "adventures" here with the Satin paper, been
wanting to say hi.


>...is going to bring in Moab Kayenta at about the same price 
>as EAM in the UK.  I'm going to try that for proofing and maybe more.

Even though it's colder, Kayenta has contrast and density very close
to EEM.  If it's the same price, being 2-sided should make it even
more economical for proofs.  

I like the paper a lot, although a bit on the thin side (205 gsm). 
I've been using it for a scrapbook project for my church and it works
well because it matches the pages in color and it's thinness
(flexibility) helps it endure the page turning, especially when the
kids get ahold of it <g>.  The prints are glued down with Avery Glue
Stick (acid free, "photo safe", like a lipstick tube), and it's
holding up real well so far (almost 4 months now).  Kayenta has a real
nice look to it, lot of depth, excellent dmax, but it's cold Brrr.

Regards,
Clayton
