Awesome cardstock
I ordered a few hundred sheets of this paper to print my own wedding invitations. I also cut some of them down to use as RSVP postcards. I was really pleased with the smooth feel of the paper and how wonderful our artwork printed on the matte paper. We got plenty of compliments and the nice thing about the thickness of the paper is they survived well in being shipped through the post office. I would definitely recommend this paper to anyone if you need some thick cardstock on matte.

Couldn’t ask for more!

Paloma McClain, Mar 15, 2026

I was super impressed how vibrant the colors print on this paper! I also love how thick it is, they have been wonderful for my greeting cards and art prints! Don’t think I’ll be needing to look any further for paper. If I could be a brand ambassador for one brand, I’d be picking Red River Paper hands down!

Great Paper for Cards

Catharine Trowbridge, Feb 18, 2026

I love this heavy duty paper for my cards. It prints beautifully on my Canon Pro 100 and is well scored so that it folds cleanly. I've been using it for years in my Etsy shop and many customers have commented on the high quality of the paper.

Polar Matte

Troy Lacour, Feb 14, 2026

It seems to print dark. Im not sure what type of image would work best on this paper? Maybe black and white?

Red River Paper Reply:

Our tech team is going to reach out to you so we can figure out what is causing the prints to be too dark. There could be a few different reasons.
