A different presentation
Polar Pearl metallic definitely represents another way to present images. It works well with some images, but not so well with others. It takes some experimentation to bring out the paper's quality. I have printed using the Epson 1400 and the profile for Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy (UPGP) is a good color/grayscale match.

Specialty Photo Paper

Judith Baker, Jul 30, 2026

Although I have only printed a couple of pictures using the metallic print photo paper, I am pleased with the quality and look forward to using this extensively for my scrapbooking pics.

Great paper

Great paper

Excellent Metallic paper

Carlos Echenique, Jul 20, 2026

Red River comes through with a top notch metallic paper. I bought the 8x10 stock to do test prints before committing to larger prints on my P5000. Does a stellar job and the prints look amazing when properly lit.
