Love It
I have been making my own note cards that I sell in a local gallery for quite a while now. Because I also put an image inside the card I need the double sided paper. This paper is great .. quality of the images are super ... and it's so easy to do a card with the pre sized and pre scored paper stock. I love it !

Superb calendars and greeting cards

Rex Couture, Jun 18, 2026

What to do with thousands of pictures? Make calendars and greeting cards for my friends, of course. The calendars had to be big, of course, and they had to be perfect, printed to my own standards. Because I was printing them myself I could do this, and do it economically.

Polar Matte 230 Double-Sided 11"x17" worked beautifully with my Epson ET-8550. I had no problem with the paper, and the print quality was superb. In normal, diffuse room light the paper is comparable to glossy paper in contrast. I actually prefer matte because the results are beautiful and reflections are suppressed. I wish that size came in grain long, but nevertheless it is thick and stiff enough for landscape orientation in calendars.

In 10 calendars (130 double-sided sheets) I did not have a single defective print. I had no problem with feeding small stacks, and I did not have a single misfeed with Polar Matte. The paper sheds little or no dust into the printer, which can be a problem with some matte papers.

Compared to the alternatives, the total cost per sheet is very modest, which is important for calendars. Thank you, Red River.
