Hello Bob,

>paper?

I like Kayenta by Moab.  It's a double sided bright white paper,
cooler toned than EEM, PR and many of the other matte papers.   Last
time I bought some (2 mos ago) it was only $15.95/50 at Adorama.  It
has become one of my favorite papers.


Regards,
Clayton

I've been futzing with Premier Premium Matte and Moab Kayenta.
"Futzing" is the right word. Initial B&W results looked a bit "crispy"
compared to EEM, but I haven't done much in the last week to
get better results. It's on my "to do" list. My next experiment will
be to try the QTR UC Entrada profile with the Kayenta. I recently
got an Eye One (1st version), and someday soon will also attempt
my first profile.

Printing Kayenta with the Epson driver EEM driver profile actually
looked just fine to my eye, but

But anyway, Paul Roark mentions these two papers on his site.
Alpha cellulose, but lignin free. Price is certainly right. Moab
ships their Kayenta in a nice, convenient box.

Might give these a whirl.
