Perfect for Light to Light-Medium ink saturation
I have a home-based audio recording and production business (on-location and private studio), and have used Red River Paper products for about 10 years. \r\n\r\nWe use the 32lb premium matte for CD tray cards on productions that use light to light-medium ink saturation, ranging from plain graphics with text through background photos with text overlay. \r\n\r\nThe artwork looks great on this paper (Epson printers) - clear and reliable reproduction with accurate prints!! Matched with the appropriate ink saturation levels, it maintains rigidity and won't warp or sag, which is important when trimming, scoring, and folding the edges!\r\n\r\nAll of my customers have complimented the look of the artwork of their projects, and I have an excellent amount of repeat business. \r\n\r\nThank you Red River Paper!!

The best paper out there [almost]
Alex, Apr 19, 2022
If I hadn't already been using Epson Premium Presentation Paper with my Epson printer, I would say this is absolutely the best paper I've ever used. Because I *have* used Epson Premium Presentation Paper, I have to say that this is one veerrryyy small step down from that, and honestly, if you never compared the two, you would have no idea what you're missing. This paper is VERY good. (If you're curious, the *only* thing that is slightly better with the Epson paper is the solidity of colors; put another way, the Epson paper essentially doesn't even look like it came off a home printer - it's that solid and amazing. Red River is like, 5% less solid than that. It's hardly noticeable unless you're a psycho like me.) Anywho, I bought this paper because I needed a slightly thinner paper to print my buttons on for my business because the Epson paper was a little thick for my button maker and I was having to throw out ~10% of my buttons. With this paper, every single button is perfect, and as someone who does big bulk orders of buttons, that is a priority for me just as much as print quality. So, like I said, this paper's print quality is truly excellent; 9.5 out of 10.

Great paper, Great price, Great packaging & Great personalized service.
Frederick C, Aug 06, 2021 - http://www.designtextile.com/
As it says in my Title "Great paper, Great price, Great packaging, and Great personalized service"
I could not be happier. I ordered from Drew several years ago and had the same fantastic service. I now use Red River paper as my sole source. I run a small textile studio with my wife & go through paper like water (crazy customers can't make up their mind). Red River paper has been a godsend because of their price, quality & reliability. Red river has truly helped me stay in business and made my life much easier. May I also emphasize that the quality of the 32lb premium paper lives up to it's name...It's truly premium.
