Red River Paper Company Reviews

The majority of my photo printing consists of two types of paper: Polar Pearl Metallic for gloss and Ultra Pro Satin for the rest. I have been well pleased with the excellent quality and consistency of Red River products. Their customer service and shipping are top notch; the best.

As a photographer who prints his own images paper quality is of major importance. Like many others I have tried many different paper producers over the years. Red River Luster and Gloss paper is unequaled in my opinion.

I recently purchased a Sony RX1R camera and an Epson 3880 printer to get back into serious amateur photography. In researching the printer, a major concern was in the cost to print images that I would offer to local art galleries to sell on consignment. From a marketer's perspective, allowing the gallery maximum markup was critical, and cutting my costs to print so that I could make them competitive with a profit for me. Red River Paper's website was the absolute best site for detailed data as to the cost to print with the Epson 3880. Their charts were extremely helpful in making my decision. Of course, then it was just courtesy to buy some paper from them, at least to give it a try. Having had a high quality Epson printer in the past in which I used only Epson paper, I can tell you that you don't lose a thing in buying from Red River Paper. Quality is excellent, and help in settings and production is available on their site. They're just great.

Every RR product I've used -- mostly card stock, but some other materials as well -- has been *at least* equal in quality to comparable products from big-name paper manufacturers. And because they sell direct rather than on retail channels, the prices are unbeatable. But the best part of working with RR is the people: customer service, from Drew and Lee and everyone else I've dealt with, is absolutely first-class. They're proactive, responsive, and always helpful no matter what question they're asked or what they're asked to do. Do yourself a favor and order one of their sample packs: I print mostly fine art reproductions, and "even" their least expensive papers are excellent -- I use Polar Matte and Pecos River Gloss CS1/CS2 for most work, but the other surfaces and substrates are also great. It's just that the Polar Matte and Pecos River are so well suited to fine art repro that my artist clients are always delighted -- and I make good money while charging rates that are even low enough that an artist can turn around and sell my cards at a profit. That's a tough combination of quality and price to beat.

Beyond the paper (I like to see all the detail in my photos and use the best high gloss Red River paper to get it), I appreciate that you continue to carry the ink for my aging printer. Thank you!

I received my paper within 4 days of placing my order, fast delivery. I have been extremely happy with the performance of the 11 x 14 paper I purchased.. I will use Red River again.

I have been impressed with Red River as far as quality of materials and how quickly I receive my orders.

I've been a Red River customer for many years. Continue to be impressed with the quality of the products and outstanding customer care. Order is always correct, delivered in perfect condition and on time. Great company, great prices...what more do you need?

I use the Aurora White for my art prints, and it looks and feels like theyv'e been screen printed!

Before finding Red River Paper, I printed, cut out and taped on 4 X 6 prints onto 5 X 7 card stock paper. I tried dozens of printable cards and none gave me the quality of prints I get on this card stock paper. Delivery is really fast too!
