Moab Paper (Booth #630) Moab recently unveiled some great looking portfolio books named ICE NINE, in 8×9 and 12×13 inch format. Also, the company has a great sample rack with their entire photo line. I made a print for their booth this year, and the company printed up a card with one of my photos and a partially excerpted tip from my book, 301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques. I also recommend checking out the Moab Somerset Photo Satin 300 paper, as well as the amazing botanical image by Barbara Bordnick printed on the company’s Moenkopi Japanese Washi. Very impressive.
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 9:18PM I've been fortunate to have been able to tag along with Andy Biggs this week as he gave some lectures on "Digital Printing: What Your Mother Never Told You." One question that kept popping up is "what's the most eco-friendly paper you have?" To me, the "greenest" papers in the Moab family are the Moenkopi papers. They're made from mulberry (kozo) fibers that are harvested from the bark of a living mulberry tree. The tree isn't cut down and the bark renews itself quickly. The Moenkopi Bizan takes it one step further. It's handmade, which means it's made with a minimal amount of electricity and is dried by the sun.
A lot of the folks around here are partial to cotton as being just as eco-friendly. We'll get to that next time.
