Premium Matte greeting and note cards are being upgraded to a better, more brilliant white photo inkjet paper. If you are not familiar with the offering, spend just a few minutes and become familiar with one of the most respected lineup of photo matte inkjet papers in the business.
The "universal" photo matte, 47lb. strikes the perfect balance of weight, thickness, and cost savings. A great substitute for Epson Presentation Paper, Canon Matte Photo Paper, and HP Premium Matte Paper.
A top seller - you get the combined quality of Premium with 10mil photo thickness, and the ability to print photos on both sides of the sheet.
A Red River Paper exclusive - at 13mil thick, 65lb. is one of the few truly high quality photo matte papers designed for those who need super-card weight, 2-sided printing capability, and compatibility with all ink types.
Why the change?
Changes at the source paper mills prompted the switch to 2.0.
How's the quality of the new papers?
Our extensive testing with the 19 different inkjet printers in our test lab show the 2.0 papers offer print quality and feed reliability as good or better than the previous versions.
Name the major differences in the new papers vs. the older stocks.
- Premium Matte 2.0 - the shade is now a bluer and brighter white. Customers who have seen a preview of the new paper comment that the brighter shade is both pleasing and adds to the overall contrast of images.
- UltraPro Gloss 2.0 - The shade of the new Gloss is slightly cooler than the previous version.
- UltraPro Satin 2.0 - New UltraPro has a more neutral (warmer) shade compared to the previous version. This is mostly due to fewer optical brighteners in the paper. Fewer OBAs means less paper yellowing over time which is a benefit. The slight tone difference is noticable between versions. This is why we will sample new papers in all orders and via our free kit. You can make prints and decide for yourself.
Any changes in the sizes you will offer?
No. We will continue to offer these papers in up to 12 different sheet and roll sizes (the most comprehensive in the industry).
How will I know the paper has changed before I order?
The website will be updated when 2.0 products begin shipping. Item numbers will stay the same, but the description of changed products will include "2.0". You can sign up for email updates on product rollout here
I have a custom profile that I made for your paper. Will it work with the new version?
Most likely yes. We suggest testing your custom profiles with samples we will provide in orders or by signing up here.
