A winner
I recently started up a small photo card business printing mostly wildlife and landscape cards for sale through local vendors. I tride the matte and then the pecos river gloss and found the gloss to be a perfect match for the type of cards I am selling. They provide a 'pop' to wildlife and landscape images that everyone seems to like. I also do a few art images and found the matte paper more suited for that genre. My first order of 100 card paper stock has been quickly depleted and am now ordering more. Even with the shipping and brokerage fees to Canada I still feel this is a great deal.

Excellent

Kevin , Jul 02, 2026

I have been creating greeting cards for a long time and have only used Red River products, Best product I have found

Red River Products.

sue perse, Jun 30, 2026

I have used Red River products for many years. I have found all of their products to be of excellent quality. My go to products are Polar gloss photo paper and the same in note cards. Also the envelopes that fit their note cards are of an unexpected high quality also. Red River provides templates for printing the note cards too. I recommend these products.

It's OK...

Cindy Guthrie, Jun 23, 2026

Images have not printed as vibrantly as I expected. Using the color profiles provided by Red River for their products seriously and detrimentally changed the way I expected colors to print and I had to abandon them. Then, I needed to remove one of the cards from the packaging and the sticky on the cello bag made contact with the card and ripped the ink off, just from the light adhesive on the cello bag. Totally ruined the card and I've had to add stickers urging caution when opening the product to all my cards. I've never had this happen before. Maybe I just chose the wrong product, but I'm not planning on ordering Pecos River Gloss 230 for my greeting cards again.
