Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary
Numerous papers - made from tree or cotton content
Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free
Can have OBAs in the base or the coating
Photobase Coating Acidity
Photobase resin coated (RC) inkjet papers always have a slightly acidic coating. The acid content (pH 6.8) makes instant ink drying possible. The level of acid content is not high enough to affect print stability over time.
The base stock of all Red River inkjet papers are acid free.

I'm new at this and was exploring ways to have Thank You cards of my photographs printed as a packet to thank those who have supported any of my multiple projects. One of my friends introduced me to Red River Papers and showed me how to print my cards.
I am so proud of my new photo thank you card packets and grateful to my friend, but also to Red River Papers for producing such excellent quality papers that make it easy to thank people personally and creatively.

Good proofing paper

As a lighter weight paper for testing out prints, it's great. I've made a couple prints on it so far and it has met my expectations completely. It fed through my Epson P900 just fine and the profile accurately reproduced my images.

Paper and profile work well together in a Canon Pro 1000. No problems with the printer transporting the paper, and the manufacturer's profile seems to spot on with both production photos and a standard test image file.

I needed a paper that was good, yet economical for adjusting colors on my printer and trial photos. This fit the bill. I will use it to make some special photo books for my grandchildren because it is lighter in weigh, yet prints like the more expensive paper. Thanks

I originally purchased this paper as 7 X 10 greeting cards. After printing well over 100 cards, with various types of images, I was very impressed. I decided to take advantage of the overstock sale (33% off) and ordered 200 sheets of 8.5 X 11. I am excited to try some of these same images on the larger format. I will be using it to produce photo books as Christmas gifts
