On Entrada Bright White
Strengths:
- relatively fine texture though I noted more course
texture in the 300 gm. weight version - a bit too much for
small prints, fine 13X19 and up
- reasonably priced
- good profiles available
- a very white paper - almost blue white
- good blacks
- coated both sides
- this has been my standard paper for two
years. The 300 weight is robust and handles well even
in 44 inch rolls.
Weaknesses:
- like all art papers it has to be hand fed - I
found even the 190 gm. paper
had to be hand fed on my Epson 4000 though Michael Reichmann
was able to bulk feed from the tray.
- so white it's very
hard to find a matte board that doesn't look dingy
and yellow next to it
- the occasional sheet has
a small blue-gray mark on it - about
one box in two or three has one
sheet like this - only
shows on one
side

Excellent papers and reasonable priced. Also
the 190 gram version helps to save money on sample prints.

- Average d-max but large color gamut
- Two sides are different, though both have receptive coatings: one
is slightly more textured than the other
- Have noticed with some batches that when print (with K3 inks) is
held at an angle, there seem to be a few shiny sparkly dots --
distracting; not sure why this is
