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.

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.

60LB POLAR DOUBLE-SIDED MATTE - AN EXCELLENT PAPER
We use it to print and sell 5.5 x 8.5 cards of Pastel Original Art. We do our own photography of the original art and process everything through Photoshop. The images print sharp and the color rendition is consistent from one card to another. Red River service is top notch. Been using them for nearly twenty years.

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.
