Moab Slickrock Metallic Silver 300gsm

Well, just got some sample sheets of the Moab Slickrock Metallic Silver.

Very impressive stuff. Looks almost like polished aluminum (slight blue hue to it).

Printed colors are awesome looking. All the colors are shiny! Ink dries fast and no smearing.

Biggest problem? Two out of three printers could not handle it. Super heavyweight at 300gsm! Only my heavyduty HP 120 wideformat would feed it. Epson 300 choked and so did my HP1220c.

Here is a closeup photo of the test print.

Asked for some sample sheets from Legion Paper. They sent two sheets for free.

That means there is a sheet to use for printing the Apollo CSM, this print will be compared to my previous tries once it is done. Will show photos and how it handles glue in a future post.

Very interesting stuff!!

Mike
