Moab Masters
Oftentimes it’s best to let the artists speak themselves about why they use Moab. After all, who better to tout the paper than the people using it to print their collections and gallery prints on it?
Moab Master photographers are a select group of artists connected by their unique visions and their love of reproducing their images on Moab fine art paper. You’ll notice some well-established photographers in the galleries below, as well as photographers on the rise. Moab is proud to be associated with these artists and thank them for trusting Moab with their images.

Geoffrey Ansel Agrons
"I finally realized the soft ethereal quality I sought for my fine art prints when I discovered Moenkopi Bizan. The results of toned monochrome output rival the satisfaction I get from making platinum-palladium contact prints. Bizan is a unique and beautiful hand-made paper." -
Andy Biggs
"All my portfolios are printed on Entrada. . It's necessary that each print stands alone as a piece of art, and it's because of Entrada's weight and feel that my portfolio stands out from the rest." -
Barbara Bordnick
"My choice for printing my flower editions is Somerset Enhanced Velvet because the fine texture of the paper and the way the pigments lay down on it are deliciously sensuous." -
Jon Canfield
"Fine art images take on a new life with Entrada Bright 300 that I haven’t found with any other media I’ve tried. The color reproduction is outstanding, and the consistent quality makes my life easier. For black and white work, Somerset Photo and Colorado Fiber can’t be beat." -
Robert H. Clark
"My favorite paper is Moab Entrada Rag Bright 300 and 190. . This paper has the ability to capture the subtle tones of a foggy day to the intense colors of a blazing sunset. The smooth velvet feel is reminiscent of the finest watercolor paper. It is simply the best." -
Chris Conrad
"Moab Entrada Rag Natural is my paper of choice for its excellent tonal ranges (with both color and black and white images) and its creamy, non-glaring surface." -
Will Crockett
"Moab's Lasal Photo Luster is my "everyday" paper because of it's bright base and the smooth, predictable surface my clients expect from me. We're very happy with it!" -
Harold Davis
"I am infatuated with Slickrock Metallic for much of my printmaking. It is bold and dramatic, and somehow at the same time paradoxically subtle. In my monochromatic imagery I strive to extend the dynamic range, and Slickrock supports this with a multidimensional look. Highly recommended!" -
Jody Dole
"After experimenting with every fine art ink jet paper available, the search was over when I discovered Moab Entrada Rag Natural. I have never obtained better results from any other paper and will continue to print on Entrada now and in the future. The Moab surfaces produce extraordinary results." -
Aaron Epstein
"Most of my work revolves around complete fantasy, so I am always looking for ways to ground my images. Moab Colorado Fiber Gloss and Entrada Rag Bright do just that. Their textures complement my style and give my prints a look and feel that I could never get from standard inkjet photo papers." -
Robert Farber
"At an early age I had a desire to be a painter. I worked in oils and water colors. When I started as a photographer printing the images were limited to a straight photographic process. Now I’m able to print my own images and am reunited with the great fine art paper that I used early on, Somerset Enhanced Velvet (190gsm)." -
Peter Frank
"For my exhibition prints I am using Entrada Rag Bright 290. It's the paper of my choice for its excellent tonal ranges and matte surface. For B/W or monochromatic images I prefer the Somerset Museum Rag. The Moab papers produce deep colours and keep details in the darker tones." -
Jose Gaytan
"I used Colorado Fiber Gloss for my latest solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library because my images came to life on the Colorado. The subtle texture and feel is a near perfect match to the silver halide fiber prints I used to make." -
Jim Graham
"Moab Colorado Fiber Satine reproduces my work beautifully. Its dmax is great and the colour saturation is exactly what I need to convey my subject matter to my viewer." -
Joshua Holko
"All of my Fine Art Photographs are printed on Moab Somerset Museum Rag. Museum Rag has a gorgeous, sensuous texture that is a delight for the senses. No other paper so beautifully captures all of the colour, detail and subtle tonalities that the natural world has to offer. I would not exhibit my work on any other paper." -
Ryszard Horowitz
"Somerset Enhanced Velvet is my absolute favorite paper. Great textures, brilliant colors and neutral black & whites. I wouldn't accept anything less to embellish my images." -
Douglas Kirkland
"I feel that Entrada Natural is the perfect paper for me because of the rich dimension it provides us for the fine art shows which we do in various parts of the world." -
Christian Lalonde
"I've tried a lot of fine art papers but i have to say that the Moab Entrada Rag papers are by far my favourite surface to print on. I absolutely love how the paper displays the depth in my images and details in the darker tones. Moab Entrada papers make my images look that much better!!" -
Jim LaSala
"Moab's Entrada Rag Bright 300 holds texture like none other with blacks that transfer exceptionally well. Entrada is able to hold details in the deepest shadows and I get tremendous amount of latitude. Most importantly, printing on this paper allows me to achieve what I had envisioned the end result to be." -
Judith Monteferrante
"Moab Entrada Rag Natural 300 (and 290 in rolls) is the paper I depend on to produce exceptional B&W and vivid color fine art photography prints. The paper makes the print come alive so that skin feels and looks like skin." -
Norman Seeff
"Moab Entrada Rag Natural has the fidelity, warmth and depth I was seeking when I began creating digital prints of my images. It has superseded my favorite darkroom papers. The gorgeous matte surface turns my images into art and I am thrilled to have found a paper that fulfills all my aesthetic requirements.” -
Michael Soluri
"Once I had tested Moab’s Entrada Rag Bright 300 in combination with its Kayenta proofing paper, I knew I had finally found an exceptionally crafted fine art paper whose consistency meets both my aesthetic and archival demands essential for the presentation and exhibition of my color and B&W imagery." -
Salvatore Vasapolli
"Few papers match up to Entrada Rag Bright 300 as it absorbs the highest saturation of black without the negative effect of cockling. The edges are all accurately sharp with no bleeding. Entrada Rag Bright is the finest giclee paper I have ever printed on!" -
Michael Zide
"Using Entrada Rag. allowed me to look at my work, the line, the tone and gesture of the landscape in a new light. The only paper that let's me achieve the perfection that I am looking for is Moab's Entrada Rag."
