First of all, Red River uses quality packaging and their materials arrive in pristine condition. I print hundreds of greeting cards to sell and give away each year. I use and also recommend to others the 9x6.25 and 7x10" sizes. I like this weight card. The surface is beautiful for photos. Writing a greeting on the card can be done with any ballpoint pen or pencil. Red River staff members are always very helpful and speak 'native American English'. Thank you for asking for reviews.

Good Print Paper

George Krisik, Apr 23, 2026

I think it’s a very nice paper. It was thinner than I expected, although the website clearly told me the thickness. My prince turned out beautiful. The whites were bright and the colors were vivid. My black and white were also bright and rich. I should’ve gotten the sampler pack sooner. I am still experimenting with different papers. Overall, I love these papers.

I use this paper exclusively for customers who want beautiful prints for a low price. Holds color very well and has never let me down.
