Love this paper!
I've tried a few different papers from Red River. Every type of paper has been great! The Arctic Polar Luster double sided is absolutely perfect for my needs. Great color and texture, photos turn out beautifully and the fact that it isn't too thick, nor too thin for my needs. In fact, if there was an option for a 40lb to 45lb or 6mil to 7mil thickness, I'd be right there to buy some of that for one of my projects. Since that's not available, the 50lb 9mil is working great!\r\n\r\nI know I've read a few reviews saying it was too thin for their needs, so I'm probably the first saying, even a little thinner would work for some of my projects. But like I stated, the 50lb 9mil is working, so I will continue using it, unless I see one day they have a slightly thinner option,,,\r\n\r\nGreat paper and great service from Red River Paper!

"Using an HP Photosmart C4580 set to best photo quality, I chose Arctic Polar Luster as my paper choice because the paper's surface shows the saturation of the image in full, without distorting the shadow areas, and without the hindrance of reflection"

The 50lb. Arctic Polar Luster Double-Sided great for Everyday

Chuck Dugan, Feb 19, 2026

This double-sided, slightly heavier paper gives a subtle glossy/lustrous texture to both sides of the sheet. This is a great "everyday image paper" that can handle smudge-free two-sided images for general purposes.

It's worth it

Kirk Poschman, Apr 01, 2023

I used a double-sided glossy paper from another company for proofing a text & photo project before the final production run. I and the customer were fairly happy with the composition of the proofing results ... until we saw the difference with the Red River Artic Polar Luster. Admittedly the other brand had a little more surface gloss, but it adsorbed the ink too much (causing slight page warping) and produced what looked like a slight white haze when fully dry, which downgraded the photo quality significantly. The photos on the Red River paper were crisp and the colors were brilliant. With the other brand, I had to wait 15 minutes to let the page warping subside before the back side could be printed. The Red River paper was ready for the back side printing within a minute. I use an Epson 3880 printer for proofing and printing. The Red River paper may cost a bit more than the other brand, but my results offset the difference many fold.

50lb. Arctic Polar Luster Double-sided

Natcha, May 04, 2022 - natchaw.com

The paper is good quality. It printed out my images beautifully. I use it for my handmade fine art photobook. It turns out very well. Easy to use. The delivery is fast. It arrived as schedule time. Perfect timing for me since I was in a hurry.
