UltraPro Satin 270 Details & Information

Description

The Top Selling Red River Brand Paper for 18 Years

If you print, you have to have UltraPro Satin in your paper inventory. It produces professional quality results and works with virtually any image. The UltraPro Satin looks and feels just like photo lab satin - a lightly textured surface that breaks up reflections and minimizes fingerprints. UltraPro Satin features a medium depth texture - just the right amount to enhance your prints without being distracting. A brilliant, bold white, it is particularly good at reproducing deep blacks and higher contrast. You will see a wider color gamut as well as smoother tonal transitions. Your black & white photos will be neutral and crisp.

Ideal For:
  • Anyone who wants the look and feel of a professional photo lab
  • Saturated colors, neutral B&W, and smooth tonal transitions
  • Images with deep blacks and rich color
  • Any inkjet printer

New 4.0 Inferior to Previous version
This new version of UPS is inferior to the 3.0 version. It is markedly thinner, causing the occasional head-strikes in the corners. Plus it is a different hue altogether, much cooler. Red River messed with a great product and blew it.

My Go-To Paper

Kenn Bisio, Jun 29, 2026

This is my go-to paper for both black and white and for color. Since 1967 I have used Tri-X and HC-110. I am a one-horse cowboy so I do not have a lot of papers and films.


All good.

Don Hughes, Jun 29, 2026

I have been using Red River paper for probably 20 years. When I was a full time studio owner I used a lot. Now that I'm retired not so much. The paper was always top notch, the price was reasonable and delivery was prompt.


BEST PRINTS EVER

DAVID PARROTT, Jun 26, 2026

I LOVE THE BLACK AND WHITE PRINTS I GET WITH THIS PAPER BUT THE COLOR PRINTS KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.
