Consistent quality prints from Red River papers

I'm using Red River Aurora Art Natural, 60lb Polar Matte and Arctic Polar Gloss, depending on the type of image I wish to print. I use the 4 X 6" size to test and then follow up with the larger size papers once I confirm the result. When using the provided ICC files I rarely need to make adjustments to get stunning results. Highly recommended!

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Dan Shepherd
Photographer
"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.""

Reviews for 60lb. Premium Matte PLUS

Roll paper shipping
Bernard Waxman
10/22/2022
I am happy with the quality of the premium matte plus, but not so happy with the packing and shipping of the roll paper. The roll I received a few days ago was slightly damaged in shipping even though the the box shows little damage. Had the plastic end supports for the roll not been so flimsy compare to other brands such as Epson there would have been no damage to the paper. In addition, the paper is shipped with no outer box for protection. Roll paper I have received from ItSupplies, for example, is shipped with an outer box. I am hopeful that Redriverpaper will improve their packaging for roll paper in the future.

I use the premium matte plus for all of my giclee prints and they are STUNNING. Very soft and non reflective, this paper is perfect for creating fine art reproductions at a good cost.

I use these all the time -- nothing says thank you like a custom greeting card! Images print sharp and clear and the inside takes black ink perfectly for the message. The price is right and they would be great for cards you want to sell.

60lb. Premium Matte Plus 7x10 scored Greeting Cards
James E. Rush

I have been using this paper for several years to produce greeting cards using my nature photos. The only text I print is a description of what one sees on the cover of the card. Reproduction of my photos is excellent, the stock is sturdy, smooth and a nice white. The stock folds nicely and along with a linen finish envelope makes a nice combination. I am very happy with this paper.
