Description
Product Alert

50lb. Premium Matte is now Premium Matte 170 Double-sided. We are changing names to reflect the metric weight instead of pound weight. You will see this change throughout our product line.

Premium Matte 170 Double-sided is a professional grade inkjet paper. It is an ideal weight for high-end books, portfolios, presentations, and much more. The surface is ultra-smooth, non-reflective, and bright white.

Matte papers are excellent when you need to focus on the details of an image without any reflective distractions. They also lend a subtle character to images that might not benefit from the punch of glossy or satin media. Graphic designers, illustrators, and artists often choose matte paper because it works so well at reproducing original artwork.

Great Paper and Quick Service
I needed legal size matte paper and the only type I could find was online as well but it was too thin. I was tipped off to Red River Paper and boy was I pleased. They not only did RR have matte paper in legal size but it was double-sided (no more looking for the "whiter" side) and it was 50lb weight. I was happy with the great service and speed. I will be ordering again the future.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Dan Shepherd
Photographer
"As a fine art photographer, how the final print looks is paramount. I like how my "Blinded by Science" series looks on an exhibition quality matte paper that is brighter than the natural tones with a bit of texture, such as the 64lb. Aurora Art White paper.""

Greeting Cards - Holiday Season was great.

Michael Adkins, Jan 03, 2026

I purchased a new Epson ET-8550 Tank Printer mainly for my art greetings cards at the beginning of the holiday season. I had a Epson ET-4800 that I loved but the transport would not feed the cards. So, I upgraded to the ET-8550 and could not be happier. The card sales over the holiday more than paid for the printer. And as aways, I love the deep contrast and values that Red River Paper provides. I have been using Red-River paper for I think ten years. And I only use Red-River paper.

Great paper for color printer projects

Kristina, Jan 02, 2026

I create a calendar of my watercolors every year, and I just love this paper, it's perfect for the job!

Christmas cards

Larry, Dec 26, 2025

After designing this year's Christmas cards, only one thing left to do is to print them. One design for each different group of people. Multiple cards can be placed on a sheet of paper, then print them. A paper cutter trims the cards, then into envelopes they go before mailing.

This paper makes the images just pop, and no distracting reflections that gloss paper can have.
