Great Paper for my gallery prints
Ron Nolland
01/10/2019
I use the 13x19 size of this paper for my larger gallery prints. Print quality on my Epson is fantastic. People always admire my prints, and can't believe I do them at home. I sell lots of framed prints with this paper, and it never fails. Great paper.

Red River Paper. The game changer.
Sandra Schultz

I am setting myself up to sell prints of my watercolor and oil paintings online. I knew I needed a top quality paper, and tried several (supposedly) top notch papers before I learned about Red River. Just before I ordered the sample pack from RR, I ordered a package of Epson watercolor printer paper, and since I had it, I printed my images on that paper. I told my friend that my prints looked bad -- sort of dead, and I was discouraged. When I got the sample pack from RR, my world turned around. First of all, the printer drivers available on the RR website are phenomenal. They have made a HHHUUUUGGGGGEEEEEEE! difference in my print quality. Then add to that, the super high quality of the papers in the sample pack, and I am confident that the prints I make will please my customers completely. I could have gone with a number of papers from the samples, but chose the Arctic Polar Satin and Premium Matte. Both give me superb quality prints. I have discarded the prints made on Epson paper and re printed them on RR paper. Thank you Red River. You have made my business possible!

Versatile Paper

I think this paper is good if you want a regular paper without the cost of high grade paper. It gives a good finish and doesn't provide too much shine against the light. The weight and thickness of the paper is just right. It also gives nice vivid colors.

Can't Wait To Print More Pictures!

I tested out a paper sample of Red River's 66lb. Arctic Polar Satin paper in my photography class, and I'm so glad I did. I printed the exact same picture on Epson and and Canon paper samples as well, but there was no comparison to the Red River print. I was astounded at the difference in quality and color; Red River's print turned out so much more vibrant and true to the image than the other two papers! And when I got to the Red River website I was so excited to see that the prices were better than other brands as well! You guys have earned a new customer for life.

This is such a great paper, very versatile. Whenever I use this paper I know I'm going to like the finished print, and it looks fantastic under glass. I highly recommend it, and if you've never tried it I suggest you do, especially with such a good price and FAST delivery. That equals the best of both worlds!

This is the best photo paper that I have ever used. My customers can't understand how their images come out with bursting colors. I told them it was the type of paper used from Red River. I have been using this paper for the past year since my professor told me where to by my paper. Thanks Red River.

Unbeatable price/qaulity ratio
Two Wanderers
04/07/2015
Pros: Really bright whites that add to higher contrast and a perfect match with images on a monitor ; excellent color reproduction in the most of colors with cooler tones being the best ; great smooth finish and texture; wide variety of available sizes (gotta love 17x25!); unbeatable price. Cons: Warm colors look cooler, but can be compensated by adding saturation in reds and yellows or making other adjustments; mounting on a black foam board or on non-white mounting boards is not ideal as the paper is thin and you may get color cast visible from under the print. Tested on Epson 3880 using PS6.

Rich colors. great blacks too.

This is an extraordinary paper. When I got my Canon pro9000 mk II I tried Canon and Ilford papers. Then I heard about RR on a forum and bought the sampler pack. I printed each type in color and b&w and settled on AP Satin. I have never looked back. I have a friend who is a pro and showed him the sampler and he also settled on AP Satin and has been selling his prints on it ever since. (He even borrows from me when he runs out ;-) ) Love this paper!

Professional Profile:

"I chose Red River's Aurora Art Natural paper. The paper is more fine-surfaced than a raw, fine art, rag paper and it's that quality that provides great earthy texture and tone to evoke vintage themes."
