UltraPro Gloss 2.0
I have used this product and others from Red River and I love the results. Colors are bright and true and I like the glossy look. That being said I have also used the satin luster finish and it is also excellent, but for my personal use, I like the glossy. The paper has a nice feel to it.

Over 10 Years of Confidence in Red River Paper

Aaron Kaggie, Jun 24, 2026

★★★★★

I've trusted Red River Paper since 2014, and after more than a decade, it's still my first choice. Some of my prints produced on Red River papers have sold for thousands of dollars and now hang in the homes of well-known individuals around the world. When your work is destined for discerning collectors, quality matters—and Red River has never let me down.

Their papers have consistently provided the color, detail, and reliability I need as a professional photographer. I recommend Red River without hesitation.

memory books

Shari Ljung, Jun 17, 2026

I've been using this paper for the last 18 years. I have 4 granddaughters and I've made them each a memory book every year for their birthdays. I try to make at least two pages for each month of the year. They really enjoy having their own collection of albums and will take them out every once in a while and look at them.

Polar Gloss Metallic

E. Donald Chandler, Jun 04, 2026

I have tried many types of your paper and this Metallic is great. I am old and a slow learner and have learned that you have to download the paper profiles for a better picture print. I use a great printer but I also learned that the monitor can play tricks and you will not get the print to match the monitor every time. Sometimes you have to spend big bucks for better prints.
