Reviews for Polar Gloss Metallic 255 Paper
Perfect for water shots!

The Polar Gloss Metallic is adored by my clients far and wide. I do ocean photography from the water with a water housing and this paper truly recreates the actual experience I have in the water with lucid detail like no other. Totally stoked! My Epson P900 really responds perfectly to it as well.

I purchased this paper at the recommendation of a fellow amateur photographer. I used it for prints from a trip to Peru. The color landscapes really pop on this paper. Thanks RR.

I like to shoot wildlife. I have a headshot of a Puma on the Polar Gloss Metallic paper. The metallic finish makes her coat glow and her whiskers sparkle. I really like the effect the paper gives a photo.

Polar Gloss Metallic 255 Figurative Prints Win Distinctions

My newest art print series has just received two distinctions, in part, thanks to the impressive "look" of this fabulous Red River Paper. First, a Special Recognition Ribbon in the Fifth Annual International Pattern Competition from L.S.T. Art Gallery/Fusion Art LLC; and, second, a print was admitted to the Artists Registry of the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City.
It is a pleasure to produce compelling and consistent giclées (8-color dye-based ink onto 13x19" sheets in my Canon PRO-100s) using this sheet.
Thank you, RRP!

The Polar Gloss Metallic 255 is one super cool paper. The patina makes my botanical shots just pop and stand out. It also has become critical to my abstract work as it adds another dimension that enhances my vision.

I do a lot of concert photography, and having my favorite photos printed out is always fun. The metallic gloss works wonderfully well with the dynamic range in my shots. Skin tones really pop against deep reds, and spotlights really come to life.

Red River's Metallic paper is particularly great for black and white images. The paper provides a wonderful radiance that makes the image really stand out. I don't use it for all my B/W images as it has a definite warm cast which is not attractive to all my images. However, when the Metallic paper is not my choice, I still have a number of choices with the rest of the family of fine Red River papers.

Fabulous Paper for Senior Photos
My first order with Red River Paper was for this metallic paper. I use it primarily for my high school seniors and dance photos. It gives a great edgy, modern feel to the images and I am just thrilled with the quality of the prints on this paper. Simply said, this is a GREAT product!

"I use Red River Ultra Pro Satin paper to print images because it beautifully handles the subtle highlight tones while retaining excellent detail in the shadow areas. "
