I can’t imagine being happier with the results.

Jay Gladwell, Dec 27, 2024

I debated whether to try Red River’s 60lb Polar Matte Photo Paper for quite some time. Finally, I bit the bullet, and I’m glad I did for more reasons than one.First, the product was shipped in a timely fashion; ordered on the 20th and arrived on the 23rd. Second, the packing was second to none. Third, inside the shipping box was another box—an actual box—reminiscent of the sturdy boxes that Kodak papers came in decades ago. The fifty sheets of 13x19 matte bright white paper were in pristine condition. That alone was worth the additional $.125 I’ve been paying for printing paper. Fourth, and most importantly, was the look the bright white paper gave my images; colors are crisp, clear, and vivid; the black & white prints (the majority of my work) have their own “silvery” look without a touch of silver halides.I can’t imagine being happier with the results. I highly recommend it.

Red River Paper 60lb polar matte paper is best quality I have found!

Dina Marie Abramo, Sep 16, 2024 - www.paintedbydina.com

I have used polar matte paper for many years to print my greeting cards. The colors are vibrant and I love the way my artwork looks; paper is so important! The best quality paper I have found. And I've tried other papers but never found any that that prints as well as Red River Paper.
Highly recommend Red River Paper!

WOW!!!!

Jennifer Alexander, Nov 30, 2023

This paper seriously blows me away, especially after trying cheaper papers from Amazon! Believe me! It is worth EVERY CENT. My cards on the Amazon paper were so dull but with this paper, they are bright, beautiful, and look just like the artwork! I am so thankful I found this company; you better believe I will buy more!

Best paper 'ever!'

Clareene Forbes, Oct 03, 2023 - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq4HgQMCfanR5RNUgQMRAeg

I have been using Red River papers for several years now. Quality can't be beat. I use a lot of color in my projects and bright clear colors are a must. Ordering is simple too and delivery is quick. Also I like that papers are delivered in heavy lidded boxes...Keep up the good work!

Polar matte is so good for cards

Mimi, Sep 13, 2023

We like the River Linen but the Polar Matte is our go-to for greeting card stock. We print for several clients and were very pleased to be able to get square stock as well. The colors are wonderful, especially for a matte surface. The feel is smooth and thick without being too heavy. Just love it!

Great Paper for Printing Notecards

Nita Winter, Jun 26, 2023 - winterbadger.com and wildflowerbooks.com

I love this paper for printing notecards. As conservation photographers, my husband, Rob Badger, and I used to use the Green recycled paper stock. We're sorry it isn't available anymore but this is a great alternative and our customers love the quality of our cards. We love that we can easily print specific cards when they are running low, create new ones and try them out. We never waste money, or materials, by ordering quantities of cards that may not sell. The profit margin using this paper is great. We offer over 30 different notecards at our live events and pop-ups, when we are promoting and selling our 12 time award-winning coffee table book, "Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change." wildflowerbooks.com

Amazing Capture on Black Ink

Dana, May 02, 2023

I print black and white illustrations on an inkjet Epson and this paper gives the richest black out of any paper I've tried. It looks like velvet. In addition to the color hold, the fine details don't bleed at all. Everything looks crisp and amazing. I was ecstatic when I tried this paper - I can't express enough how deep the black is on the Polar Matte. This paper makes me feel proud to put my name on my art.

Wonderful paper for Black and White

It's a pleasure to use the 60lb Polar Matte paper on my Canon Pixma 200. I especially like it for b&w.
