Matte papers are excellent when you need to focus on the details of an image without any reflective distractions.

Graphic designers, illustrators, and artists often choose matte paper because it works so well at reproducing original artwork.

A great all around matte paper
This 60 lb. premium matte paper gives great definition for black and white prints and good color rendition and resolution for a wide variety of color prints. I often print smaller than the paper leaving a good looking "mat" effect.

Premium Matte 230

Judith Barkan, Mar 15, 2026

Another outstanding product from Red River Paper! I helped a friend with 100 "save the date" cards for his upcoming wedding using a photo he and his fiancée chose, text, and some decorative elements. They all printed perfectly on both sides - thanks again, Red River Paper!

Very nice low cost print paper.

Tim Dussault, Mar 13, 2026

For basic prints this is nice. Icc profiles worked very well with color balance. Good job. Nice paper.

Why I like RR Premium Matte 230

Andrew Greenhill, Mar 09, 2026

In January 2025 I purchased a Canon 2600 which is a 24" roll paper printer. I had previously owned an Epson 7900 that was 14 years old and the print head was beyond repair. I had wasted most of the ink in the Epson cleaning the nozzles because I didn't use it frequently enough. I wanted to use a quality matte paper and print frequently and have a large collection of prints of uniform size. I decided to make all these prints using 17" rolls with each print on a 12x17" section of the roll. With each roll I produce 100 prints. The paper quality is excellent and heavy enough for handling and matting. I've used the paper for exhibits. Each print costs around $1.00 for the paper and ink. I now have a large inexpensive collection of some of my favorite images while not wasting a lot of ink keeping the print head clean.
