WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
Quality & Value for a Budget Artist
I first started ordering from Red River paper when a digital photo professor of mine said he's always used their paper, for client and gallery work alike, and that it kept things affordable. He's a fairly well known fine art photographer doing mostly landscapes and portraits. While freestyle.com is great for students, Red River had made it even more possible for me to really experiment without worrying too much about the cost of it, but still having excellent prints when something works out. I've used the popular UltraPro Satin 4.0 in many different sizes (including the excellent and pleasing, unusual dimensions of 8.5 X 25; great for smaller triptychs or panoramas), but am now switching to the Palo Duro Satin for a slightly warmer look, which I think I'll want for some prints, so it'll be good to compare. I'm yet to try the B/W film paper and expect to soon. I guess it's rare for me to say this about a corporation, but I'm grateful Red River exists to provide this kind of quality at a really fair price for artists, emerging and otherwise.
