A Fabulous Find!
I have a small online greeting card shop. Finding a good quality two sided sturdy paper has been quite a quest. I was told by a friend to try Red River Paper, and after having used the 60lb polar matte double sided paper, I've never looked back. It is an extremely high quality paper that produces stunning results, and will fit into your budget I promise.

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

John Conn
Free-lance professional photographer
"I look for a luster surface for my B&W images, but the paper must also take well to a sepia tone with the warmer whites that I prefer, holding strong. Red River Arctic Polar Satin prints that I output on my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer give that edge to my work."

Great 2-Sided Glossy Photo Option

Robert Adams, Mar 22, 2026

2026 The Pecos River Gloss 320 Duo Photo Paper 8.5x11 is sturdy enough to hold up as a cover and flexible enough to easily progress through my various Canon printers without jamming.

The performance is identical on both sides - absolutely the same images.

The paper is bright and reflective enough to make photos pop. Associated text and fine captions appear sharp without the slightest bleed.

And..my Canon inks dry quickly on this media.

I love this paper and will continue ordering it for any project that requires this high level of 2-sided quality.

Great for Birthday Cards

Joseph Michaelchuck, Mar 19, 2026

I create birthday cards for my grandchildren and find the Polar Matte Double-Sided card stock to be ideal. My Epson P800 combined with this paper makes beautiful images that the kids love.

Perfect On Epson Et8550

Katelyn Sweigart, Mar 13, 2026

Didn't make postcards, but wedding invitations. One side had our photo; the other side had an invitation we designed. Printed the photo borderless using the Epson's Photo software, and then printed the invitation with a pdf viewer. Bothe came out clean, vibrant, and with no feed issues.
