Re: 5x7 F-type or glossy papers?

2007-11-20 by andybiggstx

Phil-

There was a batch early on when Moab had a curling issue. The issue
was quickly resolved, and the papers that are shipping right now do
not have any curling issues.

Most fiber papers on the market are much much heavier, which is a
major problem for those people who are using printers such as the
Epson R1800, R2400 and the like. Moab came out wiht a 245gsm fiber
paper to make it more compatible with a wider range of printers.
Pretty straight forward business logic, and makes sense.

I believe that there is a huge disconnect between what is going on in
the industry and what is being talked about online. Sometimes a simple
phone call or email can get a whole bunch of questions answered quite
quickly.

You should read this thread regarding the cost that goes into
manufacturing inkjet papers. A good read:
