Nice paper for a variety of projects
I have been using the 60lb Polar Matte for both greeting cards and prints for some time. I use an Epson 1430 wide format printer with prints up 13 x 19. I am quite satisfied with the results. Good color rendition and nice sharp images. Very good feedback on custom cards for various occasions.

Perfect

Elena Burke, Apr 02, 2026

I printed several styles of art (deeply saturated color, light and airy) and all look amazing. The color is actually richer than it looks even on my screen.


Polar Matte

Tony Ulchar, Mar 26, 2026

Polar matte is the "standard" matte paper offering in our print lab. Most people we meet don't understand the difference between matte and luster and almost always turn away from matte - until they see how it make BW images POP. Our personal favorite for landscapes and high contrast portraits unless the client opts for one of our FineArt options (also RR stocks)

Amazing Results and Big Timesaver

Nancy Vince, Mar 09, 2026

I create greeting cards from my own illustrations. I print my cards on an Epson ET 8500 and the cards look amazing. Such a bonus that they are to size and scored which has saved me hours of work. Have already gone though 3 boxes of 200 since my first order in January.
