Get fed on Moab

Final Thoughts on WPPI

Marc Schotland — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:03:22 +0000

As the WPPI show winds down, we wanted to thank all the people who came by to see us The initial reviews for our new Somerset Museum Rag have been phenomenal. The word that we heard the most to describe the paper was "sensuous." Contact us for samples so you can see how beautiful this paper truly is.

Before we sign off and pack up our booth, we wanted to highlight two events happening this afternoon:

Our good friend Christian LaLonde will be leading a Master Class on fine art printing from 3:30-5:30 PST in room #202. Chris will be printing his images on Entrada on the Canon Pro9500 MKII.

Will Crockett and Sarah Petty will be giving the final night presentation on portrait lighting at 5:00 PST in room 313. For those not at WPPI, the seminar will be broadcast live online and can be viewed at FridayPhotoSchool.com.

See you next year!

The Four P's of Moab

Marc Schotland — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:25:46 +0000

Day two at WPPI - This show is a BLAST! The overall mood and excitement at WPPI is overwhelmingly positive. It's good to see old friends and make new ones. We've had so many customers sharing success stories involving Moab that we have to take a moment and reflect on how truly grateful we are to our customers.

For those who swung by our booth you probably noticed the theme of the 4P's: Print, Present, Protect and Promote:

Print your images on our fine art papers like Colorado Fiber Satine.
Protect them using Desert Varnish or store them in Chinle Archival Boxes.
Present them in the new Chinle Ice Nine portfolios
Promote your work with the new Entradalopes scored cards and envelopes.

After the image is captured, Moab's got you covered. We hope to see more of you in Vegas.

We're blogging live from our booth (#1618) at a very packed WPPI show in Las Vegas.

We're introducing a new paper we're really excited about, Somerset Museum Rag - a new 100% cotton fine art paper with the most advanced coating yet - as well as featuring our new Chinle Ice Nine portfolios and Entradalopes

We're also showcasing our 100% cotton Rising Museum Board. Rising is a used by the finest galleries, museums and framers worldwide and is a perfect complement to images printed on Moab papers.

Robert Clark Photography

A great perk we have is being lucky enough to meet so many talented photographers whose images stop us dead in our tracks. Robert Clark is no exception.

An architect and graphic designer by training, Robert was always concerned about the paper being specified for his design projects. "It is a sensual concept. Fine paper feels good in your hands. To me the Entrada just feels good to hold. And it just prints so well."

Check out his gallery or if you're pressed for time, his print of the month.

Canon announced the new imagePROGRAF iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 printers on Monday, and we already have profiles created for these exciting new printers. These new printers have new functionality that enables users to have our paper names show up in the printer driver as well as the front panel on the printer. This is excellent functionality, as there is no more guessing as to which media type to use when using our papers.
