Aurora Art White 300
Red River Paper Product Review:\nAurora Art White 300\n\nThis is a paper that I am extremely pleased with. I was using the Aurora Art White 250 and quite please with that, however with the help of Red River Paper’s super support staff I went up to the 300 in order to get a little more paper thickness and avoid curling/bending. The paper is printable both sides and matte finish, which I prefer. I used to use glossy stock to get a little extra detail, with Aurora Art White I can get the detail I prefer out of the matte. \n\nI use a MacBook Pro feeding an Epson inkjet printer (with eight cartridges) via wi-fi connection. Also, For Color Profile: I utilize the printer profiles supplied by Red River Paper and feel they make a difference. The type of artwork created is quite realistic and to get some accent colors that pop is important. \n\nI have used Red River Paper for 22 years and Epson printers for 27 years. I HIGHLY recommend BOTH\nJim Terrinoni, artist/communicator

Great quality
Jess P, Aug 27, 2023
I got this paper to use with my Epson ET8550 and it is perfect! The colors show up beautifully and I love the matte texture. The paper is nice and thick but doesn't get jammed in my printer. I am always trying to be more eco-consious with my art business and I LOVE that this is made from reclaimed industry waste!
Also- great customer service. One type of paper was missing from my order and they sent out a replacement the next day. 10/10 would recommend.

The BEST paper and profiles for my art prints
Ali Brown, Apr 05, 2023
I don't even know where to begin... HIGH quality paper, superb customer service, FAST shipping and affordable pricing. Red River has been my source for photo paper for over 10 years but just recently started printing my own prints and I am so happy that I have more control over the colors in the prints now. I invested in a nice printer and thrilled with the results I am getting. So far, all of my customers have been impressed by my prints saying they look so much like the original. If you're thinking about it, they make sample packs that are a great way to see what you like. :)

Why Change A Beautiful Product?
Rosie Augustine, Mar 27, 2023 - www.rosieaugustine.com
I have used Aurora Art White 285 gsm 24” rolls for years and loved it for my fine are prints! Nothing else compared - perfection every print on my HP Z3200 24” printer. BUT the newer 300 gsm is a disaster. SO frustrating that my printer just won’t accept the 300 weight. Hours of trouble shooting, cleaning feed rollers, creating new profiles, using up valuable inks and of course all that paper - gave up. The worst thing is that the 258 gsm is still available but only in CUT sheets - no more rolls!!
As an independent fine artist the impact of this little change in paper weight is a BIG deal. I’ve been a RR customer for years and will continue to buy the gorgeous canvas on rolls but wish, wish, wish they had not quit producing the Aurora 285 on rolls. WHY, WHY, WHY ???
