We use these to Print Cards my daughter creates on her Ipad. The texture and print quality is amazing. They’re also two sided. You can print on either or both sides.

After going through about 100 sheets of Entrada Rag, I’ve concluded that it has very limited use for my purposes. I do a lot of street scenes, storefronts, urban buildings, signs, and also some beach/landscape scenes. The paper is a nice weight, with a beautiful soft texture, but the colors are almost faded looking. And I am using the ICC profile provided by Moab for my printer. The paper works for some vintage/retro looks, like an old postcard effect. It doesn’t work well for images with a lot of contrast and color vibrancy. It makes those images look too washed out. My favorite paper, that covers a very wide range of subjects well, is Canon Pro Premium Matte. I wish Canon made it in 4×6 so I could use it for the photo greeting cards I make. I use it exclusively for all my large prints. Lately I started trimming the large Premium Matte sheets to 4×6 — that’s how much I love the paper. I hoped Entrada Rag would work for me, but it’s uses are too limited for my needs.

While I really liked my monochrome image printed on this paper, I switched to the entrada natural because it does not have a brightener added. I read where the brightener can yellow the colors over time.

This is a superb medium for printing professional note and greeting cards. Color reproduction and image sharpness are excellent. The card stock has a quality feel about it. Best I have found.

I have been using Estrada Rag 190 for at least 25 years, and it has never failed to give me excellent results. The color is always perfect and bright. I have always had very good results printing my greeting cards, and sales are good!

This paper is one I like very much, the only thing I would recommend not using their ICC profile. I find it to be a little dull and muddy on my Epson printer. I have an Epson sure color 400 and I find the ultra premium mat paper setting they supply to produce a very natural vibrant and detailed result. The paper is also double-sided which is very nice for certain frames.

Good quality matte paper for double-sided printing. I would not use it for fine art prints but it works well for holiday cards.

Moab Entrada Rag Bright 190 has become a staple in my printing routine. It has a pleasing surface texture, and its tonal range and color reproduction rival those of more expensive art papers. I often use it to proof at 8.5 x 11 before making final corrections and committing to larger formats. Its low cost, light weight, and double-sided feature also make it ideal for printing for display in photo albums and for designing and printing greeting cards of various types.
