Red River Paper is the Best
Dear Drew Hendrix, Thank you for your great paper. I had an order for prints that would be placed prominently I "La Reserve" Bed and Breakfast. I was quite satisfied with the quality of your papers. I only wish I could have IV ink bottles to feed my thirsty HP Photosmart B8350 printer. The 97 color cartridge ran out of ink after 9- 8.5x11, 6- 11x14, and 4- 13x19 prints. I plan in the near future to order a 13"x 30ft. roll to print some panos but my printer claims to print 29 inches on the length (advertised to be about 50 inches in product description) and the panos run about 50 to 60 inches x 13" in width. Perhaps I should use a shorter width role (like 8"x30ft). Can you make a recommendation. Thank you for your terrific products. David M. Stark

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.

Perfect Prints every time

Mary Dawson, May 13, 2026

I am a scrapbooker and print all of my own pictures. I have tried Staples, Costco, Canon, Epson and HP branded photo paper and have found that Red River provides the most consistent results. I experienced poor skin tones the first time I used it and reached out to Red River for assistance. They walked me through choosing the right settings and finding the right driver and I've never looked back. I get perfect results every time. I take pictures with my iPhone Pro and print through Photoshop on a Canon TS9521C printer.

Review of UltraPro Gloss 270

Forrest L Becht, Apr 28, 2026

This paper has been excellent for me. I print from images processed in Photoshop. Color rendition has been great.
I vendor at various shows and whether or not a customer purchases a photo, many of them compliment the photography as well as the paper it is printed on.
