Great Quality
I just purchased a Canon pixma ix6520 and the first few things I printed looked terrible. I bought this paper hoping it would help, and what a huge improvement! Every color is now vibrant and rich and the details are sharp. Very happy with this paper, I will be buying more.

Great paper for magnets and buttons

David Oliver, Nov 26, 2025

I decided to try this paper for making buttons and magnets with my Tecre machines based off of another review of this paper for the same purpose. I'm happy to report that it looks and works great. I'm very pleased. Button and magnet makers proceed with confidence!

Perfect for Pinback Buttons

Kate Estrop, Sep 16, 2025

When I switched to an Eco-Tank photo printer, I was disappointed in the drab printing on the regular paper I had been using for pinback button designs. Then I discovered this 32-lb photo paper and my button colors and popping off the page again!

The best paper out there [almost]

Alex, Apr 19, 2022

If I hadn't already been using Epson Premium Presentation Paper with my Epson printer, I would say this is absolutely the best paper I've ever used. Because I *have* used Epson Premium Presentation Paper, I have to say that this is one veerrryyy small step down from that, and honestly, if you never compared the two, you would have no idea what you're missing. This paper is VERY good. (If you're curious, the *only* thing that is slightly better with the Epson paper is the solidity of colors; put another way, the Epson paper essentially doesn't even look like it came off a home printer - it's that solid and amazing. Red River is like, 5% less solid than that. It's hardly noticeable unless you're a psycho like me.) Anywho, I bought this paper because I needed a slightly thinner paper to print my buttons on for my business because the Epson paper was a little thick for my button maker and I was having to throw out ~10% of my buttons. With this paper, every single button is perfect, and as someone who does big bulk orders of buttons, that is a priority for me just as much as print quality. So, like I said, this paper's print quality is truly excellent; 9.5 out of 10.
