Polar Luster Metallic is a truly unique inkjet paper that closely matches the look of photo lab metallic prints. Polar Luster Metallic features the same aspects as its lab equivalent - an elegant luster (E-surface) finish on a pearlescent base stock that yields an stunning iridescence in your images. It is compatible with any inkjet printer and requires no special equipment, inks, or finishing techniques to achieve the metallic effect. And for a bit of trivia, Red River Paper was the first to introduce photo metallic inkjet paper to the market in 2010.

Consistent Results

We have been using the Metallic Luster for our digital Art prints for over a year. People love the results. Printing on my old Epson R1900 gives beautiful consistent results every time.
Excellent paper
IZAR OLIVA, Sep 03, 2023
The quality and finish is excellent, it competes with other brands, the metallic finish is excellent and especially when printed with ultrachrome inks. I have a printing lab where I do acrylic albums, canvases and fine art printing for various photographers. I have only been buying sample kits to test with my printers but I really liked this paper. I hope this review will be posted. I posted another honest review on another paper and it has not been posted.
The wow factor

I have been using the glass metallic paper for quite a while an excellent paper. Then I noticed they offered the luster metallic paper thought I would give it a try, The results are fantastic. The paper gives your image the sharpness the gloss but adds the perfect amount of softness as well. I am glad I gave it a try it will be in my paper rotation from now on.
Stunning results with shadows and colors

I've been numerous places and have seen many marvelous things. For decades, my photos have languished in my "Pictures" folder...
This Polar Metallic Luster has provided an outlet for some of them.
I'm an enthusiast, not a professional. Even I can recognize superior results!
A good paper that helps showcase your photos.

This is a good paper that brings out the color and highlights. It makes pictures look 3 dimensional. The extra snap is appreciated.

Black and White Photgraphs

Compared your paper to other metallic offerings and found your stock to be really good for black and white photographs.
What about B&W
Ken Broussard, Jul 20, 2022 - @picphoto44
I have been using Polar Luster Metallic for color printing but as my work has shifted more to B&W, I questioned the quantity until I tried it on some of my favorite B&W's and I decided to stay with the larger pack and try it more often.
