I'm customer for LIFE!

I've been using Red River Paper's card stock for my illustrated greeting cards and posters and NO other matte cardstock compares. My customers love their prints and even some other artists and greeting card companies have emailed me personally after receiving samples and orders asking what kind of paper I use because the prints are so vibrant!

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.
