Go Aurora

I used GreenPix constantly for my fine art prints with great results. But when the 24" was no longer available I decided to try the Aurora Art. Oh wow. I see I was missing out on detail and I'm finding the color accuracy on Aurora is beautiful and rich. Never thought I'd switch from Greenpix but this is so worth a bit extra. I'm using an HP Designjet 3100, 24". It accepts this paper no problem. Cant say enough about this switch. Thanks Red River.

Aurora Natural 300 greeting cards are excellent

Sandra Parker, May 19, 2026

After bulk ordering my greeting cards from on online vendor, I bought a color printer for my studio and decided to print my own on demand greeting cards using Aurora Art Natural 300 greeting card stock for my customers. They look way better than the online print vendor's cards! I credit the amazing color to the high quality fine art paper that works so well with my watercolor painting captures. I highly recommend these cards!

New Trinity Velvet 315 is excellent with color

Marcia Ciro, May 01, 2026

Just tried this paper for prints in an upcoming show that have a lot of detail and color. Trinity Velvet printed them beautifully! Will definitely be using this paper for color prints. (haven't tried B&W yet).

Great Paper Great Price

Jerry Byrum, Apr 22, 2026

I am new to the professional world of printing and RedRiver paper has taken all the guess work out of it. This paper makes some beautiful pictures. With this large format, I am now making my own frames to fit the paper. Thank you RedRiver for all your product and support.
