aurora art perfect for watercolor
I create hand lettering with a lot of watercolor and wanted something that would still have a slight texture like original watercolor papers. This paper was perfect, and the colors are fantastic. Almost even better than the original art! I print with an Epson 1430 and this paper is a perfect compliment.

Best for Color

Al Burns, Oct 18, 2026

I really like this paper for color and high key black and white images. Because of the way this paper deeply absorbs black pigment ink, I found that it was not as good a fit for low key black and white images. But this is why manufactures make more than one paper. Choose a paper to fit the image. I love the texture and feel of Aurora Art White 300 and the ability to print on both sides. The price is great too, and I appreciate that the paper is made in the United States from cotton that would otherwise go to waste.

Beautiful Aurora White Paper

Stacie Dale, Oct 18, 2026

Red River papers are high quality and always run through my Epson printer with no problems. They show off every detail and saturated colors in my bird and botanical art. Love them!


Amazing for Art Prints!

Naomi Romero, Oct 15, 2026

I have been using this specific paper for years for my art prints. The paper is heavy weight with a slight "tooth" to it, which I love! Colors come out vibrant as well.
