A great guide that I missed the first time it came through my email. I think it would be good to know the size of the photos presented by the featured photographers. The greatest need for this is the papers used by Les Picker and Scott Barrow. The paper details that show on the samples are nowhere to be seen in the photographer's examples.

FYI

- page 8 "it's" should be "its" in the last paragraph, last sentence

- page 18 "It's" should be "Its" in the second paragraph

- page 22 "image but there" should be "image is but there" in the first paragraph

- page 28 "cotten" (sic) should be spelled "cotton" on Les Picker's page

Thanks again for this content!

Thank you for this, I’ve been experimenting with Moab papers for a while in an attempt to limit myself to one known good range of papers. This summary really nailed what I’ve been trying to master. Thanks! As for the ‘glare’ it seems like the only way to illustrate the gloss, it worked for me.

I have been using MOAB PAPERS for several years . Recently read about and ordered ENTRADA COLDPRESS for my CANON PIXMA PRO 10 printer. I downloaded the ICC profile for this printer and set out to print several test prints.

On the whole, the paper is bright and the texture is wonderful, BUT it oversaturated the colors and the profile rarely resembles the image on my BENQ screen. I wonder if MOAB has received similar complaints for this paper?

I've been paintings for a few years and so far the papers I've painted on include the regular drawing/painting paper, Fabriano and Estenbach (I prefer Fabriano to Estenbach for my watercolor paintings).

several of the prints seem to have glare, or something, like the orange on pages 20, 40, and 44, as well as the b/w arch on page 42 (top left, looks like uncontrolled lens flare). I certainly wouldn't want my prints to show such artifacts. Assume it is galre from overhead lighting??? Thanks - Walt
