Excellent Paper!
David Gabbard, Aug 19, 2026
I have been using Red River Paper for all my art prints for a couple of years. They offer the best quality paper and pricing. The shipping is always super fast and packed so well, I never worry about my paper arriving damaged. Highly recommend Red River Paper, they have a huge selection of different types of paper and offer samples so you don't have to commit to buying a large amount of paper and then not liking it. Cannot say enough great things about them. Thank You Red River Paper!
Velvety Rich

I use this paper for my 8x10 and 5x7 prints. The dark and saturated colors almost feel like they are printed on velvet, and still maintain crisp edges and layers.
