Book and brochure papers
For those of us who do a lot of two-side printing with images on both sides, and need to fold into brochures or signatures, the balance between too much and too little weight is tricky. The German Tetenal duo-matte at 130 gsm was about the sweet spot for weight, but they no longer sell it in the USA. The Red River 32 lb (120 gsm) is a bit light. It shows through too much and wrinkles with heavy photos, but folds well into multi page brochures. The 50 lb (185 gsm) is great for hiding show-through, but too heavy for multi-page folding. It would be wonderful if we could have one in between around 130 or 140.

Best paper for zines!

Bridger Swinimer, Mar 28, 2026

I’ve been using red river since I discovered them and haven’t gone back to anything else,

Perfect for small book/Zine mockup

Raun Lohry, Jan 30, 2026

I used the 32 lb Premium Matte Double sided to prepare a mockup for a zine. The zine is 8.5" square so I cut down the 11x17 to 8.5x17 and printed both sides. The paper worked out super well allowing me to easily review colors and image sequencing and refine text. The colors are true and the paper weight produced a very professional looking zine.

Really nice quality for a zine

Charlie, Jan 18, 2026

I recently made a couple small zines that included photographs and text. I needed quality paper that I could print on both sides. At first I had printing problems. I called Red River and got teriffic support. The problem was my printer setup. Support was fast and alerted me to a setting in my printer (Canon G620) that I didn't know was there. Print quality is great and the zines look very professional (I think).
