Perfect for notecards

We've used heavier weights of Red River paper in our art studio, and I was a little dubious about the 47 lb premium matte. It is an excellent choice for notecards. The 9x6.25 feeds smoothly through our Epson 2880 inkjet, with no misfires, and the surface reproduces images from an original oil painting with vivid color saturation and no smearing. I especially appreciate the free template download which made card setup very easy. A big advantage to in-studio printing is that you can keep blank stock available and just print images as needed. I strongly recommend using Red River's printing profiles, as they tested more true than Epson's installed profiles.

Good Print Paper

George Krisik, Apr 23, 2026

I think it’s a very nice paper. It was thinner than I expected, although the website clearly told me the thickness. My prince turned out beautiful. The whites were bright and the colors were vivid. My black and white were also bright and rich. I should’ve gotten the sampler pack sooner. I am still experimenting with different papers. Overall, I love these papers.

I use this paper exclusively for customers who want beautiful prints for a low price. Holds color very well and has never let me down.
