Red River Paper Company Reviews

I've used Artic Polar Satin for a year or 2 now and I'm very satisfied with it's performance. I like its rich black and vivid contrast. I'm an old school guy who used to use double weight F surface back in the day, and in order to get that nice satin look, I would squeegee the water off and let it dry and not ferro-type it. Artic Polar achieves that same look.

There is not much to add to the title. Drew and Crew are focused on the print quality and service for the customer.

I resumed my interest in photography 3.5 years ago when I retired, mostly macro photos of flowers and butterflies. Friends suggested that I should print them on cards as gifts; my son-in-law suggested Red River Paper company for paper and ink. It has been a successful partnership ever since. I have never received a damaged shipment. The diversity and quality of the photo paper products offered are unsurpassed, as is the customer service and support. The folks at Red River know paper and photography. Thank you RR for giving me the opportunity to share my love of photography.

first time customer and I'm extremely stoked to be receiving my photo paper!!! I was able to check out some of your sample "test" paper and I loved the quality!!! can't wait to get my hands on my box of paper!!!

Was disappointed with my last clear bag order. Sizing terrible on A2 bags. Now they no longer carry them and had to order directly from clearbags. Extra time and extra shipping.

The polar pearl paper is absolutely beautiful. I haven't found this type of surface in any other paper I use. I also order Pecos River Gloss greeting card stock, and I love it. Red River customer service is terrific, and I will continue to shop here for many paper needs.

I first started ordering from Red River paper when a digital photo professor of mine said he's always used their paper, for client and gallery work alike, and that it kept things affordable. He's a fairly well known fine art photographer doing mostly landscapes and portraits. While freestyle.com is great for students, Red River had made it even more possible for me to really experiment without worrying too much about the cost of it, but still having excellent prints when something works out. I've used the popular UltraPro Satin 4.0 in many different sizes (including the excellent and pleasing, unusual dimensions of 8.5 X 25; great for smaller triptychs or panoramas), but am now switching to the Palo Duro Satin for a slightly warmer look, which I think I'll want for some prints, so it'll be good to compare. I'm yet to try the B/W film paper and expect to soon. I guess it's rare for me to say this about a corporation, but I'm grateful Red River exists to provide this kind of quality at a really fair price for artists, emerging and otherwise.

I have to say I was a bit hesitant ordering photo paper online, so I decided to try the sampler packs. When the paper arrived I was blown away by the quality, shine, sheen and luster of the paper! The Polar Pearl Metallic is absolutely AMAZING! Im only giving 4 stars because of one problem I have with the sampler... You print the "name" of the paper type on the print side of the paper, which prohibits me from making a full 8x10 print with the paper type I choose. In my opinion, you should put the name on the back of the paper, so I can actually use the paper to the fullest to see if I really like it. I now have to downsize my images from a border-less 8x10 to something "custom". I am hoping that if I decide to purchase a single package of one of the papers that is in the sampler pack, I will be able to use the whole page!

I have been using this paper since my freshman year of college for all my artwork, the finish is so beautiful.

Been printing my own photos for years. Love Red River papers. The paper lives up to the hype.
