MOAB Moenkopi papers

2008-12-09 by AnnMarie

Hi all -

I went to PDN's Photo Trade Show at the Javitz in NYC last month and Legion introduced 3 
new MOAB papers. The Moenkopi line, made at the Awagami factory is all handmade. They 
are mulberry papers and the Unryu is thin and "delicate" like a "rice" paper. It comes with a 
support sheet so you can run it through your printer normally. My test came out beautifully. I 
attached the tops and bottoms to wooden dowels to further enhance the Japanese feel. Then 
there is Kozo and Bizan. I haven't used either yet but the Bizan has a beautiful deckled edge 
on all four sides. That paper costs $15 a sheet of 8.5 x 11!! I am waiting for that one special 
image to test it on (the Legion rep gave me a sample pack that only includes one sheet of 
each). The Kozo paper is a hot press paper. They are all beautiful and I thought I'd share it 
with the real arty photographers here that have been looking for something like this for some 
time now. If anyone does, I would love for them to share their thoughts with me :)
