This is my go to paper for all of my portrait prints. I love it and so do my clients.

I found this a beautiful paper to work with, providing rich blacks
and colors. People at opening asked how I got such vibrant colors.
Prints looked a bit on the dark side when they first emerged, but
more shadow detail appeared as they dried.

After having finished printing a box of this, I can say that this is one of my favorite archival printing papers now.

First, the weight: At 305 gsm and 16mil thickness, this is a VERY substantial feeling paper, nearly like cardstock, although it passes just fine through the standard feeder on my Epson R3000.

The Look: The barium sulphate surface has a nice sheen to it that falls squarely between a luster and a glossy finish, and the texture of the cotton rag paper shows through ever so slightly on the image if you rake a light across the surface. Under normal viewing conditions, the image comes across with a palpable sense of depth to it, but with no obvious texture from the paper or finish.

The Color: This will be what makes or breaks most people's decision on whether they like this paper. This is one of the warmer colored papers you can get. By itself, you might never notice that it isn't dead-on white, but next to something like Canson Infinity Platine or any paper with optical brighteners in it, it's obvious that this paper possesses a slightly warmer tone to it. That, to me, is part if its charm.

For B&W prints, I love the look that the added warmth gives to my prints. For color prints, just keep in mind that the color balance of you print will be shifted warmer in the highlights unless your printer has a dedicated white ink. This can be used to artistic effect, or could throw off your desired color balance. It's just something you need to understand to make sure you get the look you want.

And finally, no Optical Brightening Agents! So this is an outstanding archival paper.

This is one of the really interesting papers I use periodically. The color of the stock and the image tone make it somewhat of a match to Ilford Multigrade Warm Tone FB in the darkroom. Its surface also approaches some of the qualities of excellent enlarging papers of the past. It accepts a lot of ink, so colors can be made very intense. I find that I need to introduce an added curve in addition to either my own profile or the manufacturer's profile, which is somewhat unexpected in a high-quality paper, so there's something in my printer (Canon iPF8100) or workflow I can't explain. I see no reason why Moab shouldn't produce, in addition to Juniper, the same paper with a more neutral paper base, and I would be delighted to see the surface texture made just a little finer, but these are minor points. Everyone should give this paper a try, and some will probably find it as invaluable as I do.

I've tried many, many papers over the years trying to find the right combination of nice tonal ink shifts and a sharp yet temperate paper surface. This Legion paper has worked that magic for me. Amazingly easy to print--incredible definition and surface detail across such a wide paper is just perfection. It responds to high resolution files so well. Time to tune the linearization and ink mixes--it brings passion and skill back to printing.

Excellent for B&W and color. Amazing gamut, especially on B&W on my Canon Pro-1000. This is my go-to paper for exhibition and contests. Very heavy weight as well.

I love this paper for portraits.� It reminds me fiber-based b/w paper, from back in the day

I purchased this paper to print bin prints for sale at Gallery 6, the leading photography gallery in Denver. I love that I was able to get accurate color using the Canon Luster color profile with my Canon ROW-1000 printer.

I'm using 17x22 with this paper, producing stunning images.
