At DAIDDA printlab, we are dedicated to offering the best print for our customers. That's why we proudly use Moab paper in our lab. Moab Paper, manufactured by Legion Paper, has set the standard for high-quality art paper for over two decades. With their latest coating, Moab Paper has taken printing to a whole new level, maximizing the properties of the ink on the Epson SureColor P700, P900, P7500 and P9500 printers.
New coating
The new coating applied to the Moab Entrada cotton paper provides a significantly improved color space and deeper black levels than before. This applies especially to matte media such as Moab Entrada Bright and Moab Entrada Natural, as well as Moab Entrada Textured cotton paper, where the black level, the color space and the number of color shades increase extremely. With Adobe's scale, which goes from 0 to 255, where 0 is 100% black and 255 is light, we now achieve a black level of 3 and 4 and a color space close to 800,000 on the Moab Entrada cotton paper with the new Epson printers. This is a revolution, a paradigm shift and the biggest leap ever within the printer generation, says an enthusiastic Per Arnfinn Persen in DAIDDA.
We have compared the color space and black level on various papers from Moab, Canson, Hahnemuhle and Epson using the software Chromix ColorThink Pro. The results show that the Moab Entrada cotton paper has an improvement of 3.2 times deeper black level compared to Canson and Hahnemuhle, as well as a 21-23% increase in color space compared to the corresponding cotton papers.
Legion Paper (Moab Paper) set the standard 20 years ago when they launched the Moab Entrada series of acid-free cotton paper, which is the world's best-selling cotton paper. Now they are setting a new standard again with their latest coating which is adapted to the characteristics of the ink in the Epson SureColor P700, P900, P7500 and P9500 printers, resulting in the best print results ever on the Entrada cotton paper.
To get these amazing prints on paper, you need an Epson SureColor P700, P900, P7500 or P9500 printer, as well as Moab Entrada paper that is no more than two years old. You can download the latest ICC profile for your printer from www.moabpaper.com . And if you don't have one of these printers, you can of course print with us in our lab at Fredensborg.
ICC profiles
An ICC paper profile is created by the paper manufacturers using the X-Rite i1 PhotoPro3 spectrophotometer. This instrument measures the color saturation and gray scale of a set of predefined colors/patches printed from the calibration program. The result is an ICC profile in the form of a 3D-LUT, which shows the limits of the printer and the selected paper. Chromix ColorThink Pro is a program that can analyze the color space and maximum black level in the ICC profile. A good ICC profile defines the quality, including the color space, the number of shades, the black level and the maximum R, G and B values that can be achieved with the selected printer and paper.
Durability for up to 400 years
The Moab Entrada series is made from 100% cotton, and in combination with pigment inks from Epson, Canon and HP printers, the cotton paper gives the best durability of all art photo papers. In addition, the cotton paper eliminates glare/reflex, so that the image can always be viewed in its entirety.
The Epson P700 and P900 also support printing from smartphones. If you have a newer iPhone or Android phone with great photos, download Epson Print Layout for iOS or Android and experience how easy and impressive it is to print on Epson P700/P900 and Moab Entrada paper.
If you want to be convinced of the results, you can come to our print lab at Fredensborgveien 22F. 3. Bring your image file and a printout on A4/A3+ paper from Canson, Hahnemuhle or your favorite cotton paper. Then we print the same image on our Epson SureColor P9500 with Moab Entrada cotton paper, so you can see and judge for yourself how much better the results are, and why you should switch to Moab Entrada paper and Epson's latest printers.
