Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary
Numerous papers - made from tree or cotton content
Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free
Can have OBAs in the base or the coating
Photobase Coating Acidity
Photobase resin coated (RC) inkjet papers always have a slightly acidic coating. The acid content (pH 6.8) makes instant ink drying possible. The level of acid content is not high enough to affect print stability over time.
The base stock of all Red River inkjet papers are acid free.

Totally Impressed with every paper i have tried so far!
I have been printing with the canon PIXMA pro 100 for the past three years with great success using the canon photo paper. I recently upgraded to the canon prograf 1000. And with such a remarkable printer there are so many options to use different types of paper. I did a bunch of research and review after review recommended red river papers. So I bought a few of their sample packs and download it all the ICC profiles. I first started with their polar pro gloss metallic and holy cow! That just took printing to a whole new level. I am not particular a fan of glossy photo paper just due to reflections always showing. But this paper just makes my photos pop. I really love their ultra pro satin 4.0. it is my new favorite. As I’m slowly going through testing out all their samples I have added five new papers to my clients that they can print on. And the one thing that really stands out to me with Redriver paper. Is the way they ship their paper to you. it is so well packed with heavy duty bubble wrap and paper that there is no way your photo paper is going to get damaged during delivery. You do not know how many times I have received damaged packs of photo paper from top distributors that decided to put their photo paper in a plastic bag and expect it not to get damaged. I got fed up with that I would pay extra just to put it in a box. Now I have no worries whatsoever with Redriver paper and their shipping is fast. And in the past three orders I’ve already earned $10 off my next purchase. I am now a loyal customer And very excited to try out more of your paper. It’s real quality stuff here. I am super impressed. If you don’t believe me or all these reviews, just try it yourself you will be happy .

Great for photo calendars
Mary Viehoefer

I have been printing photo calendars for my family for years. After no longer being able to find double-sided 32 lb. matte paper locally, I came to Red River. Excellent quality and quick delivery. Perfect for photo calendars, as the ink jet colors do not bleed to the opposite side at all, and it's a great paper to accommodate pen ink for filling in appointments and reminders throughout the year. Couldn't be more pleased.

I have tried a lot of papers in my quest for my holy grail paper for crafting and junk journal making, and good lord... I cannot praise this paper enough!!! The pigmentation is so beautiful when paired with my Canon printer and the paper is so SO soft!! The colors come out rich and creamy, and I'm so so in love! I will forever only buy red river paper, absolutely phenomenal and better than any other 32lb paper I've used!

Multi page photo card
Dag Knudsen
07/13/2022
I use this paper for my photo cards where I have more than 4 pages. This serves as a mini-book with photos from events or get-to-getter. This paper is the right weight and finish to complement th 60# card stock and not so thick that it is difficult to saddle stitch with a stapler. So, the outside pages are on 60# card stock and the inside pages on this 32# paper.

32 lbs Premium Matte Double-sided

It was definitely an excellent decision to look for where to buy photographic paper for my personal projects.
One of the reasons to shop at Red River Paper is because of the wide assortment of photo paper types and the variety of sizes. The other reason, and one that became very important to me, is the care they put into packing the orders. The paper arrives intact regardless of size.
This is the second time I have bought 32 lbs Premium Matte Double-sided paper and in greater quantity for the magnificent results I obtained by printing black and white photo books on both sides. I really liked the result and presentation of my photographic work. These books are one more backup, in addition to digital backup.
To date, I have continued my purchases here.

This is the paper I use for all my journaling pages that I need a
sharp image on and a little more body than what copy paper gives.
It colors beautifully.
