50lb. Arctic Polar Luster Double-sided

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

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

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.

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.
