60# Polar Matte… an excellent choice
After testing my prints on many types of paper, I selected Polar Matte as the best all around paper for work. At this time, I print all my photorealistic prints on Polar Matte paper. The details are crisp, value gradient transitions are smooth and saturation levels are accurate. \nWhen I need a glossy paper, Red River is where I will go to find it.

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.

Fabulous Cards

Virginia McEachern, Mar 08, 2026

These cards are very high quality, take color beautifully; bright and crisp!

Polar Matte

Louis Jacinto, Mar 06, 2026

I use this wonderful paper for all of my black and white prints. I love that this paper gives me the feel of a silver gelatin matte print.
