Tutorial for setting up and printing with our pre-scored inkjet papers for Photoshop CC CS6 CS5 with Windows

What's the difference between the tutorials?

The Standard Tutorial takes advantage of Red River Paper's free templates and sets you up for a basic card design that can be easily expanded to include multiple images, text, and graphics.

The Super-Simple Tutorial is two steps, uses no template, and takes you from photo to basic card layout quickly.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

Good paper - inflexible customer

I have been a regular Red River Paper customer for a couple of years, buying paper for use in my photography courses and also to make fine art prints that I donate to fundraisers for local charities. Recently, I contacted RR to inquire about the possibility of a discount for a very large order of paper to be used for an exhibition/fundraiser for a local charity. I wanted to check to see if there was a discount/coupon I might have missed, whether there might be an upcoming sale I should wait for, or whether RR would consider extending a special discount on a one-time basis given the nature of the project. Every penny I save is a penny that goes toward the charity, since I donate 100% of the profits. (I also donate some of the products outright, so every penny I save is a penny I can spend on additional materials to support the charity.) Unlike my experience with a number of other providers of products I use for my charity work, RR was inflexible - no, there were no upcoming sales, no special discount, no there were no coupons I'd missed.\r

\r

Since I was on a tight deadline, I decided to go ahead and order the paper. I used my principal RR account. I had forgotten, though, that I had a secondary account under a different email address (one I hardly use) and I had actually saved a cart with paper in that secondary account. I started getting emails from RR about a day later regarding that saved shopping cart under the secondary email address. Within a day or so, I was being offered a 15% discount on the items in that cart.\r

\r

Naturally, I called RR to see if they'd consider retroactively applying that discount to my prior purchase. I wasn't surprised when they said no (retroactive discounts are fairly unusual and I think somewhat hard to process in computer systems). So I suggested as an alternative that maybe RR would consider giving me a credit (for the difference in price for a future order). Again, I explained how I was going to be using the paper and that I would be donating the profits to the charity. And again, I was met with inflexibility.\r

\r

I realize, of course, that Red River is a business and businesses need to make a profit in order to stay in business. It's also their prerogative to decide whether and how to offer discounts on their products. But in this case, I think their approach to dealing with my request showed a lack of flexibility, fairness and regard for their own longer-term interests. Because they've lost me as a customer. And whereas before I used to recommend Red River to my photographer friends, I will no longer do so and suggest instead that they deal with a service provider with a more flexible and customer-friendly approach to service.
