Red River Paper Company Reviews

I have never been disappointed with Red River papers. I print on an Epson SureColor P600 and before that an Epson 3880. Over the past few years I've used Aurora Art Natural and Aurora Art White when I printed on matte papers. My current favorites UltraPro Satin and San Gabriel Baryta Semi-gloss. I especially like the warm toned San Gabriel. It looks outstanding on B&W prints and to my surprise also with color prints. In my situation I had a custom profile made for the San Gabriel that really neutralized the color tones. I used to pay premium prices for llford Galerie Prestige papers but now it's Red River for everything. Their descriptions and reviews on each type of paper are quite helpful too.

I contacted Red River about card stock for my printer and they were very helpful. They knew more about what would work for my printer than Canon did. Their website was very helpful as well. Again, Great service!!!

I just started my online business and not only use Red River for all my paper and plastic sleeve supplies but when I was setting up and wondering what printer to buy they answered all my questions thoughtfully and complete. I had not even been a customer at that point! They just love what they do!

Love the paper quality and service. Please start producing your satin and metallic papers in A2 and A3 sizes. Would greatly improve options for printing. Keep up the great work!

I recently purchased an Epson SC p800 and learning about printing. I took advantage of Red Rivers's free 10 pack with purchase. Very pleased with the 68lb UltraPro satin. The paper arrived in a timely manner and was nicely packaged. I'll be exploring the note and postcard stock. As well as some different types of paper and sizes. I found it easy to find the paper profiles and really good instructions for how to download them.

I ordered two sample packs and was impressed with the feel and appearance of my test prints. Surely anyone can find an ideal paper for their work. The website made ordering easy, and is a wealth of information such as icc profiles, paper selection guidance and accurate descriptions of the products.

Very early on a rainy morning, I went outside, and there was the package from Red River, which had apparently been sitting outside all night in the rain. The UPS driver had not rung the bell, so I had no idea that your box was waiting for me. He had not even placed it under the front door overhang, so it had been directly in the rain. Yes -- the box was quite damp. But lo and behold, due to the meticulous packing of Red River Paper's employees, although some of the bubble wrapping inside was wet and a few boxes of paper had droplets of water on the shrink wrap, NONE of the paper or the boxes containing it were wet, or damaged at all! I had been completely out of paper, so I was very thankful. Not only does Red River have beautiful quality paper, even your packing materials are of high quality. The heaviness of your shipping box contributed to the good outcome -- a night in the rain did not destroy it! My only comment is that maybe you would be better off using US Postal Service to make your deliveries. They ALWAYS ring the bell, and see packages safely into my hands. Thank you so much for your outstanding service. I called after receiving the box and asked customer service to convey my thanks to your warehouse workers. I hope they got my message.

I rarely contact vendors about their products, because it is rare that I encounter a company who so consistently produces a product that laughs in the face of everything else on the market. Your paper is superior to any other photo paper I have ever encountered. I have shared positive reviews with you a few times since I began ordering from Red River almost a year ago, but I simply cannot wait to tell you again how much I enjoy printing images on your paper. At times, I am simply gobsmacked when I walk to my printer to retrieve an image -- an image that looked really great on my iMac retina display. Red River papers give pictures something that the rest of the digital world cannot provide. I am professional musician and teacher by trade, but as a side "gig," I have spent the last several years restoring old photos. Folks have always complemented my work, but when I started using Red River paper, the increase in quality has made ME look like a consummate professional. Thank you for providing me, and so many other graphic designers, with such a powerful tool.

I finally had a good photo printer now I had to find a good paper to print on. Red River Paper really helped me through the process, learning about profiles, how to set up my printer and choosing the best paper for my situation. No other site was as easy to navigate or had the details I found at Red River!

Red River Paper for inkjet is beyond compare. I love the end result and my customers do to!
