Product Name Change Announcement:
32lb. Premium Matte is now Premium Matte 120. The same paper - new name. We are changing names to reflect the metric weight instead of pound weight. You will see this change throughout our product line.

Red River Premium Matte 120 has a smooth, bright white finish that produces brilliant color and sharp detail on any inkjet printer. The lightest paper in the Premium Matte family, this paper offers printing flexibility and cost savings when you demand top grade image reproduction. There are many light-weight inkjet papers you can buy, but none are as good as Premium Matte from Red River Paper. The secret is the high-performance coating, something you won't see on a big office store brand inkjet paper. ...continue reading below

Perfect paper for my books!

I recently self-published 2 books of poetry, photos, and commentary(comb bound). I have an ink jet printer and I had taken over a year to find a paper that I felt would show off my photos to their fullest advantage. I also felt that paper had to be a glossy finish, and affordable. In proofing my books, I found that when licking a finger to turn a page, it smeared the ink a little bit. I was very upset and didn't have any idea where to turn. At that time a graphic artist I knew recommended the Red River 32 lb. Premium Matte. I was absolutely stunned at the brilliant clarity of the photos. I have now started selling my books and have had very postitive feedback as to their professional appearance. I am very grateful to have found such a high quality paper at such a reasonable price.

So much better in more than one way.

Jeanne Draachreider, Oct 09, 2026

I got this paper as I create unique boxes with designer images. I was using 8.5x11 letter size and always had a lot of empty unused space due to the size of prints I needed, so now I can fit so much more onto these larger sheets. Also, finally learning about adding color profiles for specific papers I know that I'm getting the best out of the paper, which is perfect for my needs.

Happy man

The 120# Two sided Premium Matte prints beautifully. Great ink holdout and good opacity. Red River is all quality all the time from product to customer service. Five Stars.

Suggestion

It would really be a benefit if there could be less expensive proof paper with the characteristics of the papers in consideration.
