MOAB Entrada Rag Natural 290

Moab Entrada Rag Natural 290 is a heavyweight, 100% cotton fine art paper. It has a smooth matte surface. It also features a naturally warm white base. This Moab Entrada Rag offers excellent ink handling and sharp detail. It provides a broad color gamut and natural contrast. It is great for professional photographic and fine art printing. This is much like the Bright version.

The primary difference is that Entrada Rag Natural is OBA-free. It has no optical brightening agents. The paper retains the natural tone of the cotton fiber. It does not use fluorescent additives. This increases apparent whiteness. This gives finished prints a slightly warmer. It offers a more traditional fine art appearance.

Its natural white surface works well with warm-toned photographs, portraits, and landscapes. It suits black-and-white images and reproductions. The paper's character complements the artwork. It does not produce an extremely bright white background.

At 290 gsm and 21.5 mil thick, Entrada Rag Natural 290 has substantial weight. It has the same premium feel as Entrada Rag Bright. Moab recommends pigment inks for archival printing. Dye-based inks are also compatible.
