Red River Paper Company Reviews

I started with the art paper sampler and loved the Aurora Art White for my higher end prints. Then when I purchased a printer for greeting cards, moving to the Polar Matte 60lb for cards was a breeze. I just printed up 300 cards and am ordering more today. Super easy to load, they always fold cleanly, and most important they look and feel wonderful.

Red River has been supplying paper to me for several years. My old favorite is Ultra Pro Satin (since version 2.0), and I have used early Greenpix, early San Gabriel baryta (new favorite), current Aurora Natural, and various mattes and glossies in two sampler packs. Palo Duro softgloss rag and some large sheets of 32 lb matte are incoming. The samplers have been a great way to learn about the variety of papers available in the whole market and to experiment. I print on Canon and HP non-specialty inkjets and recently acquired a Canon Pro-100. My printer refurbishing work, 100-150/year to sell by a nonprofit, also gives me access to Epson photo printers -- if by chance they can be unclogged, it is fun to try Red River sampler sheets in them. The greatly varied papers in Red River's samplers all work very nicely in the Pro-100 and the majority are fine in the lesser Canon and HP printers. Red River's ICC profiles recently began to help me to take best advantage of the papers. Red River's website contains many informative articles that point me in constructive directions to help with my refurbing and own printing. An emailed offer of photo cards let to a sampler that made me switch my winter holiday cards from purchased ones to custom ones with my own landscape cover photos. In general Red River transformed my printing habit from frequent amateurish using printer OEM paper scraps, to improving enthusiast matching paper type to image content. And I can afford my habit much better than if I were using certain European or Utah inkjet papers. Red River puts it all together from paper to advice to support. Many thanks to Drew and colleagues for lifting me to a higher level of print literacy and quality!

I absolutely love printing on all RRR papers. I use them exclusively now as they never fail in any circumstance. Printing to these papers is like wearing elegant diamonds!!!

Just got my first order of Ultra Pro Satin after using Epson Ultra Premium Luster for many years, and I am impressed with it. Its every bit as good as the Epson, and comes on more usable sizes. My Canon ipf5100 bit the dust, and I replaced it with the Epson p800. That combination of printer and the Red River paper is giving me my best prints ever.

I contacted Red River Customer Service as I had a couple of questions about their Polar Pearl Metallic paper and their shipping to Canada. My questions were answered by email within the hour (my first big surprise, as I was not expecting an answer for at least 24-48 hours). I purchased 2 sizes of the Polar Pearl Metallic. It arrived at my home address in Canada 2 days prior to the expected arrival date. And when I printed my first photo on that metallic paper, I was amazed. Wonderful results. I will definitely recommend Red River Paper and the Polar Pearl Metallic paper to professional or enthusiastic photographers who want to see an improvement in their overall printed results.

I have used many of the Red River Paper products. Note Cards I can print myself as thank you cards, sympathy cards, anniversary cards, etc.. so they can be personalized. I love printing large fine art photos on my Epson 3880. My favorite is Aurora Natural, but I have also used glossy and super glossy pearl. All excellent. The service is great and I have never had to wait on my order. Great company to work with.

I own an invitation business. I use Red River Polar Matte paper, because it is the best paper on the market!

I always use Red River for all my paper needs. I can always rely on them for fast service and they aren't far away from me so I usually get my order within a day or two. Very satisfied customer. Am going to try out some of their other papers I haven't tried yet.

Th inkjet sampler came quickly and has a good variety of papers to try at a very agreeable price. Have only tried a couple so far but results have been lovely.

Ordered the sample pack to give these photo papers a try and am so glad I did. Printed two photos on the Polar Pearl Metallic sample sheets and immediately went online to place an order. Couldn't be happier with the results! Can't wait to try all the others from the sample pack.
