Takes Some Learning
Tommy M Savage, Jul 26, 2026
This is good low cost paper but it requires learning by expedience. Mat paper reduces the contrast of the image so needs extra contrast added before printing. How much to add requires the experience.
The best paper for my prints
Haya Patel, Jul 13, 2026
Polar matte will forever be my number one go to for all my regular fine art prints. They turn out crisp and truest to color compared to other paper I've sampled, the thickness is lovely and the feel is so nice and smooth. I'm so excited to get the double sided version so I can start making zines and bookmarks with it :)
Great paper

After trying a less expensive paper and being unhappy with the results. Red River paper came through beautifully.
