The full Moenkopi range of Japanese Washi inkjet papers is now available in the UK through our distributor Colour Confidence. They're a great source for all things color (or should we say "colour"?)

I've been fortunate to have been able to tag along with Andy Biggs this week as he gave some lectures on "Digital Printing: What Your Mother Never Told You." One question that kept popping up is "what's the most eco-friendly paper you have?" To me, the "greenest" papers in the Moab family are the Moenkopi papers. They're made from mulberry (kozo) fibers that are harvested from the bark of a living mulberry tree. The tree isn't cut down and the bark renews itself quickly. The Moenkopi Bizan takes it one step further. It's handmade, which means it's made with a minimal amount of electricity and is dried by the sun.
A lot of the folks around here are partial to cotton as being just as eco-friendly. We'll get to that next time.
