Description
Product Name Change

60b. Polar Matte Double-sided is now Polar Matte 230 Double-sided. The same paper - new name. We are changing names to reflect the metric weight instead of pound weight. You will see this change throughout our product line.

Red River Paper Polar Matte 230 Double-Sided is designed for professional photo and art printing on both sides of the sheet. Featuring the same finely tuned matte coating and premium base stock as Polar Matte, this version adds full double-sided inkjet coating for projects that demand image quality front and back.

The soft white, non-reflective surface delivers excellent ink holdout and smooth tonal detail on both sides, while the substantial 230gsm weight gives prints a refined, high-end feel. It's an ideal choice for portfolios, greeting cards, books, and presentation work where consistency and durability matter.

Polar Matte 230 Double-Sided performs beautifully with landscapes, black-and-white photography, artwork, design, and more. Its glare-free surface keeps attention on fine details and subtle tonal transitions, regardless of viewing angle.

60 lb. Polar Matte double-sided paper for flipbook
Love the 60 lb. Polar Matte double-sided paper. The most recent project was a flipbook for a client. The two-sided pages had large illustrations and text on each side. The thick paper allows each page in the spiral book to be flipped/turned without seeing the images on the opposite side to show through.

Worked great on my inkjet and black and white laser.

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.

Great Paper
