Arctic Polar Luster's surface represents the true modern photographic look and feel. Its extra weight and thickness gives the assurance of a fine photographic print.

Arctic Luster features a deep luster finish
Compatible with any inkjet printer, Arctic Polar Luster fits an important niche for professional photographers. Increasingly, pros and enthusiasts require a high-end photo feel product that combines quality and consistent usability. Unlike many of the new boutique photo papers flooding the market, this Luster will feed consistently, withstand handling, show minimal fingerprinting, and offer cost savings.
Deep luster (E-surface) offers the perfect balance for pigment ink printers. You get the best of both worlds:
- Wonderful color saturation of a microporous paper
- Greatly minimized gloss differential and bronzing associated with glossy media
Thanks to the microporous layer on the top of Arctic Polar Luster, large quantities of ink (read deeply saturated hues and blacks) will dry instantly. This means no smudging and minimal fingerprint troubles.
Ideal For:
- Those looking for the finest luster photo paper available
- Saturated, sublime colors and stunning B&W
- Projects that require a heavier and thicker media
- Any inkjet printer
Good To Know:
- Deep satin / luster finish
- Acid free base stock. Coating slightly acidic.
- There are no markings or logos on the back
- Back of this product is not printable
- Photo Grade paper.
- Extra coating layer on back helps slow fade with dye inks

Great Paper, Great Company
I'm an Apple computer dealer and have access to wholesale products through the industry channel, but I have a customer who uses Red River products exclusively and thought I would give them a try, especially after having so much trouble getting paper delivered in good condition without damaged corners. I ordered a package of the Polar Pearl Metallic and printed the same black and white image on Epson Premium Photo Gloss and the Polar Metallic and was amazed at the difference in quality. Printing two identical color layouts on those papers showed even more dramatic differences. I shoot a lot of ruins around the southwest and this paper added tremendous depth to my photos. My order also arrived quickly and was extremely well packaged to avoid the shipping damage I so often experience from other vendors. I not only recommend the Polar Pearl Metallic paper but Red River as well. I can't wait to try their other products now....

A great cold tone pure white paper with a luster surface. I like to have a consistent look to all my prints, so it's the only paper I use. I love that it comes in so many sizes. I print on everything from 5X7 to 13X19. I also buy 16X20, split it in half and print 8X20 panoramas. I print with a white border and the clean cool white is bright and fresh. My B&W prints look just as good as my color prints.

Attic Polar Luster has become my default when it comes to printing

Granted I am a Graduate Student who prints with university facilities so I haven’t printed with a big variety of brands. I really found and stuck with this paper after wanting to have brighter highlights and tone to my images. The images definitely have a brighter look to them than standard photo paper. Luster seems to lend itself towards the brighter material as well. I recommend it to anyone looking for a similar effect!

This order was for a replenishment box of APL 8x10 from one that I used up. I purchased a pro-level A3+ photo printer a in January 2021 and RR papers were recommended to me by a friend. After purchasing and testing papers from 3 sample kits, I settled on APL as one of the papers that I liked. I then purchased APL in 4x6, 8x10, and A3+, and RR Polar Matte in 4x6, 8x10, and A3+. I like the colors, detail, and contrast that I get from APL. I will continue to use this paper as my go-to luster paper.
