"I look for a luster surface for my B&W images, but the paper must also take well to a sepia tone with the warmer whites that I prefer, holding strong. Red River Arctic Polar Satin prints that I output on my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer give that edge to my work."

So pleased with the Polar Matte Card Stock
Rob Watcher, Feb 03, 2025
I have started selling photo cards using my extensive catalogue of street and travel images, both in retail boutique locations as well as a new Etsy store “oneroomhouse”. Even with the potential shipping challenges as well as much higher costs than the paper I have been use - being that I live in Canada —— I wanted to give the precut and scored Red River papers a try.Firstly - the package was delivered impeccably with much care being taken to make sure it was delivered without damage. That has not been my experience with the materials I have received from Amazon.
Most importantly, the card stock prints my images beautifully. I have all of my card layouts set up in Affinity Publisher and print out wirelessly to an Epson XP 15000. I didn’t waste any paper with the first order of 6 cards that I was able to ship out today to clients. As well some time was saved not having to manually cut and score the cards. The cards from RR folded accurately.I am very pleased. Thank you RR for taking the care to ship that to me in a safe and timely fashion.

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!
