Lovely Christmas Card Paper
I purchased 100 of the 60lb Polar Matte Double Sided cards to use for our family photo Christmas cards this year. They came out lovely, and I will definitely buy them again. I was very impressed that they offer color printing profiles, this was a deciding factor for my purchase.\r\n\r\nTwo things that I would have liked to have known going in:\r\n\r\n1. They do not come with envelopes. I suppose I could have figured this out, but for some reason I didn't, and nearly panicked until I found enough envelopes in our house to use. I would have appreciated a pop-up reminder when I went to my shopping cart, because I definitely would have added them to my order.\r\n\r\n2. I found the ICC profile that I downloaded from the Red River website for my Canon PIXMA Pro 9000 Mark II had an odd, green tint to it. It was unacceptable, so I had to go into Photoshop and add a pink filter, which immediately fixed the problem, and I got lucky and only had to try it once. \r\n\r\nOther than that, my experience was stellar, and I'm still getting compliments on the cards.

Polar Matte Paper Prints Beautifully

Diane Kirtley, May 22, 2026

This paper was recommended to me by a professional photographer and I love the matte finish it gives my photos. They turn out great.

Polar Matte 60lb Paper is Perfect

Jill Philpot, May 09, 2026

This paper is my standby for my art print business. No complaints EVER. You consistently deliver quality each and every time.

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.
