Happy customer
I’ve been using Red River paper for cards for some time and I’m very happy with the quality of the paper and the customer experience. I tried the sample packs before settled on the Polar and Aurora Matt paper cards. Support from Red River staff has been good with Q&A about printer settings as well as shipping.

"As a fine art photographer, how the final print looks is paramount. I like how my "Blinded by Science" series looks on an exhibition quality matte paper that is brighter than the natural tones with a bit of texture, such as the 64lb. Aurora Art White paper.""

Great Paper for Printing Notecards
Nita Winter
06/26/2023
I love this paper for printing notecards. As conservation photographers, my husband, Rob Badger, and I used to use the Green recycled paper stock. We're sorry it isn't available anymore but this is a great alternative and our customers love the quality of our cards. We love that we can easily print specific cards when they are running low, create new ones and try them out. We never waste money, or materials, by ordering quantities of cards that may not sell. The profit margin using this paper is great. We offer over 30 different notecards at our live events and pop-ups, when we are promoting and selling our 12 time award-winning coffee table book, "Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change." wildflowerbooks.com

Amazing Capture on Black Ink
Dana
05/02/2023
I print black and white illustrations on an inkjet Epson and this paper gives the richest black out of any paper I've tried. It looks like velvet. In addition to the color hold, the fine details don't bleed at all. Everything looks crisp and amazing. I was ecstatic when I tried this paper - I can't express enough how deep the black is on the Polar Matte. This paper makes me feel proud to put my name on my art.

Not your boring matte paper
Conrad Hoffman
12/27/2022
This paper breaks the rules! Traditionally, matte papers have less dynamic range and brilliance than glossy papers. This paper has bright whites, deep dense blacks and vibrant colors. The surface reflects almost nothing, so it can work in difficult display environments and over wide angles. Just great stuff. My only caution is it can be hard to tell which side to print on until you learn the subtle difference in feel and reflection.
