Lasal seems to be the replacement..another Utah/Southwestern name,
like all of Moab's. http://www.fs.fed.us/r4/mantilasal/

I have not yet seen Lasal because I still have plenty of Kayenta.

Moab was seriously into both their region and brand name
management..and "Kayenta" is specifically a Navajo name...maybe Moab
refrained from selling it out of respect. Courtesy is a consideration
in the SW. Who knows? Wild speculation. Legion Paper either bought or
merged with Moab Paper, depending upon who you talk to. 

Like Kayenta, Lasal is bright white alpha-cellulose, matte, and double
sided. It's apparently available in some new weights. 

In addition to that potentially BIG double sided price advantage, it
is even less expensive than Kayenta was. Amazing. Maybe that's
temporary :-)

Kayenta had the highest detail resolution of any of the (not many)
papers I've tested (it beat Entrada, EEM, and three true
glossies:Kirkland, Kokopelli, and Epson ) and nothing's been brighter
in the dozen or so papers I've compared in print exchanges. In
addition it has not yellowed in the year or two I've used it, unlike EEM. 

Lasal is marketed by Calumet and www.inkjetart.com among others. 

www.inkjetart.com should be more able than Calumet to be definitive
about "same as Kayenta" because it operates a lab, repackages various
papers under their own brand (including another bright matte
alpha-cellulose with faintly more texture ), and have been inkjetters
for quite a while.
