Hi Djon:

Is it safe to assume that you prefer the Moab Entrada Natural for color 
printing over plain old Epson Enhanced Matte?  If so, would you please 
share the characteristics that you find superior?

I fear that I'm kind of hooked on EHM, for my 2200, but would be very 
willing to try something that provides the potential of improved 
results.  The Luminous Landscape folks seem enchanted by the Moab papers.

Thanks.......... Jack Winberg

Jack, I think I prefer Entrada (Natural) but it isn't "superior." Just
different. I'm buying into the idea that inkjet isn't silver in
gelatine, it's more like silkscreen or etching or some ancient photo
technique...my sense currently is that EEM looks too harsh. I don't
think any of this is set in stone for me. 

I'm adjusting my vision as I learn about the medium, rather than
trying to force the medium to fit abstract standards.
