Using Aurora Art Natural 300 for cards.
I match these hefty natural color cards with my color prints for a rich, dynamic greeting card. (I use Polar White cards with my black and white images for emphasis on the detail of the image.} Color prints on this Aurora Art Natural stock take on a painterly overtone, yet are sharp. The texture of the card itself emphasizes the uniqueness of the card.

Wonderful tonal gradations

Richard Poppino, Jul 28, 2026

I am beyond happy with Aurora Art Natural 300, which I use both in the letter-size format and for greeting cards. I've found it particularly well suited to black and white images that demand a subtle separation of tones in the mid-range---studio portraits above all. I have also used it for some landscapes, with excellent results.

Great fine art paper
