Blew me away!!
I have just recently gotten into printing my art and was recommended by so many sites that this paper is the best of the best. I previously tried using walmart generic paper and the colors came out so. dull and washed out that i was worried my printer was not as good or that my inks were already bad. But then i got my red river paper in and from out the gate, the difference in print quality was night and day. The colors were vibrant, the print quality was so hyper detailed and it felt like a whole new world was opened up to me. I'm so so satisfied with my purchase and this will certainly not be my last purchase from Red River. It still blows me away at the quality and how vibrant my art looks now.\nIf you were looking for a sign for whether or not the hype is merited, let this be your sign! \nRED RIVER PAPER IS NO JOKE, THE BEST I'VE SEEN!!

Excellent Papers

Virginia McEachern, Sep 28, 2026

Aurora Art White 250 is excellent paper! I am a watercolor artist printing all my art on Red River Papers. The papers take color beautifully and hold crisp lines. I use Aurora Art White 250 for printing greeting and note cards, small 4x6 prints up to 11x14 prints. I am always thrilled with my printing results!

Awesome! My printed die-cuts feel like commercial die-cuts. Completely satisfied with this paper.

Stellar Paper, I Love It!

Gregory Bonk, Sep 18, 2026

I ordered a sample pack, and this is one of my favorite choices!

The matte finish allows the art to speak for itself, while providing fantastic color reproduction, highlights, and shadows. I've just purchased some larger sizes to print some photos and art to put up around my home.
