Here is the latest review on Juniper Baryta Rag 305 from our friends at B&H Photo:
For many, the photographic experience ends with the print instead of the computer screen. Digital printing is constantly evolving, with technology being infused into printers, ink, and paper.
We put the latest from Moab, the Juniper Baryta Rag 305 paper, through its paces to see how it performed with a variety of digital images.
If you are familiar with traditional darkroom, fiber-based paper, the feel and smell of the Juniper Baryta Rag paper will take you back to the times spent inside the chemical dark room with a red safelight overhead and a glow-in-the-dark timer on the shelf.
Juniper Baryta is the only 100% cotton true Baryta paper made in the USA—there aren't that many such papers in existence, either—and it has a wonderful texture, both visually and on your fingertips. It is a heavy paper and the back of it feels very fibrous. If the senses of touch and smell are important to your prints, you might really enjoy this paper. For me, the smell and texture make holding the prints exciting for more than just my eyes.
The “Baryta” name denotes use of barium sulfate and the paper strongly echoes the silver halide paper of the darkroom. The baryta substrate, when compared to standard plastic resin-coated photo papers, allows for much deeper ink penetration on the print.
With the help of the printing experts at the B&H SuperStore, I made several test prints on the 13 x 19" Juniper Baryta paper, using the store’s Epson SureColor P800 and Canon PIXMA PRO-100 inkjet printers.
When it comes to the sense of sight, the Juniper Baryta revealed great richness in the black areas of the test prints. Even with the great DMax, the shadow detail held up very well—the paper showed gradual shading to pure black in the dark regions of the prints. The color saturation was superb and the colorful prints of the lot looked great, with vibrant sunset colors faithfully reproduced by the combination of both printers and the Juniper Baryta.
Black-and-white prints were easily tackled by the paper, as well. Great tonality and the same gradual stretch to the deep blacks of the paper combined to leave us with some compelling B&W prints. Combine this with the look and feel of darkroom fiber paper, and you can further reminisce about the old days of the darkroom.
The Juniper Baryta is of archival quality and, I feel, of a substance, look, and feel that you wouldn’t hesitate to use to display your finest images. If you are mounting a fine art show at a gallery or museum, this is the kind of paper on which you will want to print your work. If you are displaying your work at home, the Juniper Baryta will certainly complement your images and help impress your guests. If used for your portfolio, be prepared to have the reviewer spend as much time feeling the paper as viewing your images.
The best endorsement I can share with you is this: The printing experts at the B&H SuperStore get to see, touch, and print on almost every type of photographic paper on the market. All of the sales professionals who handled the Moab Juniper Baryta and saw the prints were very impressed with the performance, look, and feel of the paper.
The Juniper Baryta Rag 305 is available in 25 sheets of 5 x 7", 8.5 x 11", 8.3 x 11.7",11 x 14", 13 x 19", 17 x 22" and 16.5 x 23.4", 100 sheets of 8.5 x 11", 8.3 x 11.7", and 13 x 19", and rolls of 17" x 50', 24" x 50', 44" x 50', and 60" x 50'.
The purpose of the Global Arctic Awards - 2015 contest is to show the magnificence of the diverse North and Arctic world through the photo art. The contestants works will represent the beautiful variety of the North nature and wildlife, depict the peculiarities of the “icy” world of the Arctic, and narrate unforgettable photo stories about the culture, life and centuries-old customs of the North minorities . Through the prism of photographic lenses the coldest, deeply frozen Earth regions, covered with ice and snow, will appear in a new perspective.
Moab Paper is proud to sponsor Joshua Holko and love seeing his work printed on Somerset Museum Rag and Juniper Baryta Rag.
"This morning I awoke to the very exciting news that I have won the grand prize of the 2015 Global Arctic Photographer of the Year award. Winning the Global Arctic Photographer of the Year award is a huge thrill and honour for me; the incredibly high standard of photographic work being produced in Europe is very intimidating and I am deeply humbled to have had my work chosen from a pool of such amazing photographs and amazing photographers. In total I took out five medals across the different categories including Gold, Silver and the FLAP Special award in two categories as well as the overall Grand Prize of 2015 Global Arctic Photographer of the Year. As an added bonus, I am told that I am the first photographer outside of Norway to win this award."

Kingdom of the Ice Bear from Joshua Holko on Vimeo.
Ever wonder what an expedition to the High Arctic would be like? This short film by Joshua Holko gives you a unique insight into what it's like to participate on a dedicated photography expedition with a small group of passionate photographers. It's also intended to highlight the growing threat to Polar Bears and raise awareness for their rapidly diminishing numbers.Congratulations to Joshua Holko who just wrapped up with 2014 Australian Professional Photography Awards with four entries on Somerset Museum Rag and all scored coveted Silver with Distinction Awards.
Widely regarded by many as the toughest photographic competition in the world today, APPA remains one of the few world wide competitions where the finished ‘print’ is judged (in the vast majority of categories) by a panel of professional photographers who are each considered experts in their chosen specialities.
Joshua Holko chose to enter the Science, Wildlife and Wild Place category because this category has very rigid rules on image manipulation that are consistent with his own ethics for minimalist post production techniques.
Not only did Joshua Holko enter the APPA awards, but he also participated as a judge for the first time. You can watch the judging of his photographs here.
Congratulations to Karen Dobia as well who took this ‘homage to Polar explorers’ photograph of me earlier this year. The photograph scored a highly coveted Gold Award in the Illustrative category. We are proud to say this was also printed on Somerset Museum Rag.
Along with the Hot One Award from Professional Photographer, we are proud to announce the Juniper Baryta Rag 305 was chosen for Rangefinder's Editors Choice Award in the Hot Products Buyer's Guide.
"Moab's latest fine art media, the doubleweight (305gsm) Juniper Baryta Rag, is a 100 percent cotton, true baryta fiber paper. The slight glossy surface helps give whites a natural look with a little extra sheen while also rendering fine details in shadows. In preliminary testing, this paper delivers great results in both color and black and white, although I was particulary taken by its exceptional monochrome capabilities. But don't just take my word for it; head over to the Moab site to request a free sample."

Canoe studios and Legion Paper presents selected artwork by the Norwegian photographer and artist S.Manneraak in the exhibition "Norwegian Hallucinations".
This project is an immersion in to the artists impressions and experiences throughout a lifelong, close, relationship to the grandeur nature, its roughness as well as its wistfulness. It embraces the mythical landscape which manifests itself in the human mind during a, sometimes lonely, meeting between natures mystery and beauty, and the visual and spiritual experience after days and nights without sleep and food.
The artwork merges the mysterious Norwegian heritage, with the artist's own personal expression through mixed techniques. The most prominent is blending photos and acrylic paint. Then the artworks are printed on MOAB metallic paper.
The photographer and artist S.Manneraak is up and coming in the art world after several years as a well known fashion photographer with clients worldwide. After great success and hard work in the commercial business,
Manneraak wants to reinvent his artistic side with a new name and a broader approach to concepts and the art of photography. In addition to taking photography and painting, he is experimenting with other expressions through film, graphics and sculptures. Manneraak had his debut in the Norwegian State Exhibition in 2004, and since then he has had several separate exhibitions in Norway and abroad. The artist has sold his artwork to private and public collections in Norway. The Norwegian prime minister and minister of industry, as well as the major of Bergen, all have a Manneraak artwork on their walls. These artworks are all commissioned by Bergen Naeringsraad (the Bergen board of industry).
One highlight of this year is that Chanel decorated their headquarters in Paris with a 105x150 cm large Manneraak artwork printed on "SlickRock" MOAB metal paper.

The name, Death Valley, evokes a land hot and forbidden but for photographers it is a land of discovery! Temperatures are mild and range from 60's-90's degrees F. From the lowest point in North America to the top of it's snowy mountain ranges lies unbounded opportunities of photogenic subjects of salt flats, sand dunes, volcanic cones, borax and gold mines even ancient indian rock art. The workshop is timed for the best chances of shooting wildflowers. We visit infamous named places like the Devil's Racetrack where mysteriously rocks leave trails of their movement yet no one has ever seen them move! Devil's Corn Patch is where demons harvest their foul inedible growths of poisonous Mesquite. A trip to Badwater takes us to the lowest place on the northern continent. It is a land of poisonous salt water pools. We also visit Artist's Palete, Zabriskie Point, Dante's View and other well known habitats. Desert and mountain animals abound, such as the Roadrunner, Mule Deer, Mountain Sheep, Burro's (left from the miners working the silver and gold mines) Pupfish, Bobcats, Desert Tortoise, Horned and other lizards and snakes abound! If you are a beginning photographer, here is the place to start working on compositional techniques! If you are a season professional, this is a place to add unique stock for your clients!

Bill Diodato, a New York based commercial photographer and client, requested large format prints that would be featured in the lobby of an architectural renovation project from Jim Roselli at Xact Studio.
As part of Jim's workflow, he always requests the highest resolution image available for review before hand. In this case, Bill captured the images with a Hasselblad 503CW camera with a Carl Zeis 50mm CFi lens and a PhaseOne IQ260 Digital Back. This extraordinary combination of equipment delivered an extremely detailed file to work with.
Bill was asking for my recommendation on which media to use for printing. Once I saw his images, I immediately knew these would look remarkable on the Slickrock Metallic Pearl, which is now one of my most favorite medias from Moab.
Slickrock Metallic has very unique properties with regards to refracting and reflecting light. It has a very clear luminosity that emanates from direct, indirect and ambient light sources. When clients first view a print rendered on Slickrock, they usually comment on how it seems to be self-illuminated.
Bill’s creativity with regards to image processing yielded images that were in absolute harmony with the media. Each image was composed from selectively layering two photos creating a positive and negative effect.
-Jim Roselli
The images are now on display in the newly renovated lobby of 433 West 34th St. in Manhattan, New York.
433 is a pre-war apartment building designed by the noted architects Bing & Bing who are known for their art deco architectural style.
The 44” X 68” Slickrock Metallic prints were made on an Epson 9900 printer.
