MOAB PAPER SOLD

I ordered some paper from Moab about 1/1/2 weeks ago. After it didn't show up yesterday I called them.

A very nice woman told me that the company has been sold to Legion Paper out of New York and that they will begin to ship from Legion New jersey or California warehouse.

This poses some concerns:
1) Will the quality continue to remain the same?
2) Will Legion change anything to increase their bottom line at the expense of an already good product lineup?

The person I spoke of didn't sound to happy with the situation. She sounded like they will retain some offices in Moab but a lot of everything else is shifting to Legion Paper.

Stay tuned.

I've been waiting on an order as well. Also, never did get a satisfactory answer on my issue with the scoring on their 5 x 7 cards. Hope this isn't the look of the future. Anyone out there have a good alternative for quality matte photo paper that folds to a 5 x 7 card?

Chuck:
Red River paper has a very nice Linen texture matte surface card that folds to 5x7. I've used them for several years and have had good service and no problems with their papers.
Here is a link to the card stock for linen papers.

Hi Jack:
Yes, they do have paper profiles for their papers and I find them to be pretty accurate. Hope you like the paper.

Jack,
It does not really matter for me. I purchase the Moab paper through my local camera store, which has prices cheaper than the Moab site.
