Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary
Numerous papers - made from tree or cotton content
Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free
Can have OBAs in the base or the coating
Photobase Coating Acidity
Photobase resin coated (RC) inkjet papers always have a slightly acidic coating. The acid content (pH 6.8) makes instant ink drying possible. The level of acid content is not high enough to affect print stability over time.
The base stock of all Red River inkjet papers are acid free.

For the past two years, I have depended on your product to craft professional marketing cards for all of my business materials.
I can expect consistently high-quality results. Our prints are always crisp and precise, ensuring that every detail is well-defined. Printing on 10x7 paper and then skillfully cutting it into two 5" X 7" pieces. Our expertise also extends to printing on the other side using black ink, guaranteeing flawless outcomes for all your printing needs.
Thank you, Red River, Eli Berger FunPhoto.online

The Best

I have made hundreds of greeting cards with this 60 lb card stock on an old Epson C88. Excellent color rendition (even with the cheaper LD inks). And the inside matte is perfect for printing or writing personal notes as well.

I’ve been using your product for many years now to make greeting cards from my water colors. I used an Epson stylist pro R2000 because your company recommended it years ago, it finally stopped working recently so I tried my less expensive printer Epson ET 2800 to my surprise this printer on your paper did an excellent job, I no longer think it was the printer make great cards but your wonderful paper!! Thank you! It’s great doing business all these years!

Nice at first, but then...
Shanda Akin

This paper seemed nice at first. They printed well on my Cannon Pro 1000. I created a bunch of holiday cards for my business and friends and family. But then, it wasn't until I received a returned letter in the mail that I saw the ink rubbed off the paper. I am very embarrassed that so many cards went out with such poor quality. The rest of the Red River lineup is great. This product is far below expectations.

60# Pecos Gloss 7”x10” greeting card
Fran Bliek
01/21/2023
I am an artist and have used 60# Pecos gloss greeting card stock for many years to make cards from images of my paintings. The quality of the photo is excellent and the ability to write messages on the matte paper on the inside of the scored card makes these an excellent product for my consignment sales and for my own personal use. Highly recommend!

Unique Cards for Friends and Family
Charles
11/01/2022
I've used the 60lb. Pecos River Gloss greeting card stock for several years now to create unique cards for all kinds of occasions with my personal photography. A hand-written note on the inside makes each card personal and one-of-a-kind. Which I hope makes the sentiment much more meaningful than something from Hallmark®. Also makes it more convenient than going to the store to get a card.
