Muddy blacks -very disappointing
David Feingold, Apr 06, 2026
I am a long time user of RR papers, and have used them for photo exhibitions in Cambodia, Bangkok, Paris, and the U.S. I decided to give AAW a try, printing a photo that I had printed before on other RR papers. I print with black borders. The border was a deep grey. The colors in the print were muddy and "off". I used the profile. I print on a Canon Pro-1000. I will try a few other tests, but I would not recommend this paper for photographs.
Red River Paper's reply:
I apologize that you are experiencing this. I do not see that you have reached out to our tech department regarding the "off" colors. Please email us at [email protected] and we can further assist you.

We offer RR media exclusively in our print lab. We cater to hobbyists, beginners, and working pros, and seek to offer a wide variety of in-stock papers to encourage them to print local vs online. AAWhite has become our "Fine Art Matte" option for a few months now and the reception has been terrific! Black and white landscape and portraits look AMAZING and it's never disappointed!
Very Bright

I love how bright and crisp the colors from my Epson show up on this paper.
