The BEST I've used for greeting cards!

I love love love the Aurora Fine Art white and natural paper for cards. The ink just flows so smoothly on the paper without needing to be color corrected. I used the Linen card stock before it was discontinued and liked the texture but not how it soaked up ink and made the images too dark. These Aurora papers are perfect - beautiful color, feel, and weight. I highly recommend them. They are worth the few pennies extra that they cost.

Horrible customer service

Evie Eddins, May 06, 2026

Paper doesn’t feed through my printer (that’s a me problem!) but the customer service’s legitimate response to try to troubleshoot was “well can you get a different printer?”

Red River Paper Response:

We apologize that you were dissatisfied with our response to the Aurora 300 not feeding in your HP Printer.

This is the customer service's verbatim response. The point is that, for serious printing purposes using fine art paper, an HP Envy is not a viable option, and one should seriously consider a different make and model.

"Ah I see. Most HP inkjet printers are just designed for casual use (i.e., printing recipes or plane tickets or occasional photos of the kids for the fridge) and business documents. Some people do, however, use them for artwork on our lighter-weight media, such as our Polar Matte 230. Did you purchase the printer recently? (or more to the point, is exchanging the printer an option?)"

As noted in the compatibility section of our Aurora 300 product information page, it is not compatible with HP desktop printers. Please visit www.redriverpaper.com/feed for tips on feeding paper through printers to see if that helps.

Beautiful fine art postcards

Kirsten Cunha, Apr 13, 2026

I got this paper to print promotional postcards for my freelance illustration business. I'm using an Epson Eco tank 8550 printer, printing with archival, pigment based ink from Costmos Ink, The postcards printed beautifully on this paper, and it was nice to be able to print in color on both sides! Very happy. I'll definitely shop here again.

Comic Booklet Prints

Belen Osborne, Apr 12, 2026

Printed with an Epson ET-8550. Prints came out beautifully. Although, next time I'm printing a comic I will get a lighter weight of this paper. 300gsm ain't the easiest to fold and staple, lol.

For people using thick paper with the et8550, use the back loading tray and do 1 sheet at a time! It will still jam, but it does not damage the paper. Make sure to check the thick paper setting in the driver, also. Reddit has more detailed advice.
