Love this paper. Using profile provided by Moab, it prints beautiful, accurate prints from my Epson P 600.

I use this paper for portfolios and like it a lot. It’s heavy, smooth and bright. I print on an Epson 3800 and the canned profiles from Moab are right on. Its a fine art paper so don’t expect super rich blacks you get on photo papers.

I love the clean whites with color prints. Like any matte paper you need to be careful with the low tones blocking up. For B&W try the Entrada Rag Natural.

I use rag paper for my artistic renditions and this rag has the right surface to show the texture of the painting. Moab is my favorite large or small prints.

I print baby announcements for my greeting card company on this paper. I also use it for business cards. It’s a bright white, that feels great in your hands and has a nice weight to it for cards. My artwork prints so vividly on it, I love how it looks. Text is always sharp and clear. It doesn’t do as well for folded cards, as the paper tends to crack a little at the edges where the fold is since it is so thick, but for flat cards it is just perfect.

Especially for warm skin tones, where radiant, smooth skin is presented, this is an outstanding choice. With experience, we favor certain papers for certain types of images, and I think this is tops for portraits of children and young women in soft light. Sometimes matte paper just work best, as in the cases mentioned here.

I love Moab papers, especially their rag papers. Entrada Rag Bright 300 is a heavy paper which feels natural and luxurious to the touch. Although it’s double-sided, I use it as a single-sided paper for fine art prints for exhibition or portfolio work, particularly for matte black and white prints. It’s the perfect combination of reasonable price and terrific quality. The tonal range is superb and I find that the D-max is better than most matte papers. It’s also more neutral-toned, which is what I want. If I want warm-toned prints, I’ll tone my prints! Strongly recommended. While Epson Cotton Rag papers (bright and natural) are also very high quality and almost indistinguishable from Moab’s, if you’re not printing with an Epson printer, you can’t get access to icc profiles for Epson papers. Moab is not just a great alternative, it’s the paper to use, whether you have an Epson printer or not.

I used this two-sided paper for a handmade book. The prints turned out lovely, with brilliant highlights and rich colors. 300 weight may be a bit heavy for book pages, however.

This paper is great for printing 2-sided greeting cards. The photos come out sharp and colors are vivid. You would need a printer that handles matte paper.

I have used this paper for two applications — the first, a double sided leave-behind card and second, a design portfolio. I print on an Epson R2400. The image quality of this paper is incredible, very rich and velvety. Printing double sided works well as the paper stock is thick enough to have minimal show-through from the other side. People are always impressed with the depth of color and quality.A couple of downsides, which prevents me from giving this paper 5 stars (although one issue is the fault of the printer and not the paper)1. The paper dents very easily and the ink rubs off on itself if stacked or in a book form without sheet protectors. (Not sure what else I would be using double sided paper for aside from a book application and this paper is too nice to put in a cheaply made acetate sleeve. Just as bad as putting a $UV filter on a $ lens…)2. Getting the paper to feed through the rear manual sheet loader on this printer can be tedious at best. The trick is to let the printer spool, have the error message of media out and then feed it through with steady pressure. If you get paper jam error, pause printer and let paper feed through, then restart printer and continue. Sometimes it takes some coddling to get it to feed right. Also, if printing black / mainly dark tones on one side, print the lighter side first to avoid scratching the dark ink when you feed the paper back through.Overall, like all Moab papers, the Entrada Rag is amazing. Highly recommend it and am about to order more. Again.

I print my art on it. Paintings and drawings for sale. The results are outstanding. Crisp, clean and vivid colors. I also love that it’s thick -300gsm and you feel it, like a card. (Not all 300gsm are created equally, sometimes you can feel the difference in their thickness). For photography – it is not bad, although for me photography should be printed on glossy paper – for sharpness and contrast. Matte paper gives photography dull edge, especially if it has even the slightest trace of texture on it. Perfect for me size – 5×7, in good quality papers it is hard to find. Overall perfect for me – for printing very colorful art in size 5×7. Of course I will buy again. I print 1 page at the time, but I do it with all papers.Very good value for the money.

This is a very classy rag that becomes part of the art with its weight and surface quality. Prints great with rich colors.

I use this paper for printing my fine art prints on and it prints so beautifully on it. It look so crisp and rich- almost like it was painted on! I love it. I wish they had more sizes so I didn’t have to cut it down but thats also a plus because I can make it any size per the demand. And B&H sells it inexpensively!

I use this paper to print birth announcements and party invitations for my greeting card company. It is a nice chunky weight that is perfect for a flat card and the fact that you can print on both sides is great. The texture is lovely, like a smooth cold press watercolor paper, just enough texture to look artistic but not take away from the printed image. Colors come out brilliant and fonts are super crisp. The only downside I can find is that it doesn’t fold very well, so I only use it for flat cards. If you are not interested in folding it this paper is perfect.

Beautiful quality color and prints. I like that it is very subtly a little less than smooth. And that it’s double sided for printing

Best paper ever.

I needed to print postcards for a class and these worked very well. It’s a nice, thick paper and the prints looked great!

I’ve always bought my MOAB paper from BandH, and in the past haven’t had any issues. This order however, arrived in a taped-up box that had seen better days and the corners of the paper were damaged. Clearly it had been opened and returned. There was even a footprint on one of the sheets of paper. Normally I’d have returned the order but I was on a tight deadline and needed to get on with my project. I’m disappointed especially as this paper is expensive, but I’m hopeful it won’t happen again. I’m about to make another order, so we’ll see.
