Red River Paper Company Reviews

I am a fine art photographer and digital artist. I also am the owner of Fine Art Productions on Cape Cod. I produce giclees for artists on and off Cape. My go to paper for smooth is Red River, Aurora Fine Art White. My artists love the feel and weight of the paper as do I. The beautiful paintings, pen and ink drawings, and photography look just beautiful on this product. All in all, I am very happy with Red River.

I scrapbook and use an Epson wide format printer and have always purchased my paper from Epson. Recently I had to buy a new Epson printer and decided to order more 12x12 paper and was told they don't sell it anymore! Found Red River online and ordered a box of 60lb Polar Matte and LOVE it!! After trying it I called Epson headquarters and gave them the phone number and address for Red River Paper and they said they will tell future customers about this company. Love you are in the US too!!! Sign me "a very happy customer!"

Not only does Red River paper have a wide variety of paper at reasonable prices but their customer support is great too. When I emailed them questions regarding their products and a printer issue I immediately received detailed responses which included followup responses to further questions I had. Finally, each of their papers includes a downloadable printer profile for your particular model of printer, along with instructions on what print settings to use. The profiles have proved to be invaluable in getting the high quality I'm looking for on my printer output.

In my opinion Red River Papers represent quality, service and price. 5 stars in all regards. What more can I say. I also find this website a great resource with useful information and the honest, forthright descriptions of the various papers in the product line. Not to mention much useful advice and help. My mainstay papers for the past four years have been Polar Matte plus UltraPro Satin and Gloss. I don`t see this changing in the future. I was pleased to speak with a RRP representative at a recent New England Council of Camera Clubs Annual Conference. Keep up the good work.

Fast and reasonable shipping service, and products that are far more superior than other photo papers available in the market. What more could a customer ask for? I am one very satisfied customer! Thank you!

I stopped at an Arts and Crafts Fair in Litchfield, CT where several local artists and photographers were exhibiting. I was drawn to the best images in the show, images that had been Photoshopped and matted. They were astounding. As I love to make a great print myself, I sought out the artist and regaled him with praise of the outstanding images. We kind of bonded, and he confided in me that "It's not me, really, it's the paper (and canvas) that I use." I asked what it was, and, of course, he said, "Red River Paper". Just goes to show you...

As so often happens with amateur photographers, we strive to take a better photo, create a more beautiful scene, or present our work more seriously. Fortunately I am blessed with many mentors willing to share knowledge and kind words. This knowledge extended, recently, to my friend Steve who told me about Red River Papers. Steve's advice: buy some sample packs, try out a number of different papers, see which ones give a product that you like. Then, he said, stick with that paper and become an "expert" in working with it. I gave RRP a try, purchased samplers, and went out on a limb with the card paper that was in my first order. I am very pleased. The papers are a pleasure to work with and the instructions for working with my first large printer, a Canon Pro100, are clear and easy to follow. What pleases me about the paper and the service: the paper that I purchased has been excellent; the service was prompt and more timely than I expected given the reasonable shipping charges. The website is easy to use and contains quantities of very helpful information. I appreciate that the company is educating their clients as they are selling their products. I have recently placed my second order. I expect to continue using Red River Papers.

I have been doing photography for over 40 years and on the advice of a fellow photographer I recently gave Red River Polar Pearl Metallic paper a try. I continue to be amazed by the images that this paper produces. I spend a lot of time outdoors shooting scenes which contain light and shadow. Trying to balance these two element is, to say the least, challenging. What the Polar Metallic paper does is highlight many of the subtleties and nuances that are often lost with other papers. This paper is especially good when shooting urban and natural landscapes in that it greatly reduces the time that goes into post production editing. I would describe this paper as very similar to Epson Photo Luster paper but with more "pop." I love it.

Some companies promise the sun moon and stars then don't deliver. Every time I use Red River paper, I get consistent results. People ask me all the time which paper I use. For price and quantity you can't beat it.

I have been trying fruitlessly to use other papers in my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 printer. Finally, I have been successful with the Polar Matte paper for art prints and cards. Thank you Red River!
