Polar Gloss Metallic 255 is a truly unique inkjet paper that closely matches the look of photo lab metallic prints. Polar Gloss Metallic features the same aspects as its lab equivalent - a high gloss finish and a pearlescent base stock that yields an elegant iridescence in your images. It is compatible with any inkjet printer and requires no special equipment, inks, or finishing techniques to achieve the metallic effect. And for a bit of trivia, Red River Paper was the first to introduce metallic inkjet photo paper to the market in 2010.

Polar Pearl Metallic is now Polar Gloss Metallic 255. Why the change? With the introduction of Polar Luster Metallic 255, we needed to make a clear differentiation between it and Polar Pearl. Because "pearl" often refers to a satin or luster surface, we decided to be very clear about the surface, which is glossy.
