I needed a very special photo paper to give my New York shoreline photos a high quality 3d look. This Polar gloss metallic fit the bill. I highly recommend it for your color dynamic landscape photography.

Polar Gloss Metalic

Stephen Heersink, Jul 06, 2026

Great paper with excellent printing results. I only wish the paper was packed better inside the box it comes in. It would be great if the paper was packed inside a clear inner cellophane envelope similar to the way Moab paper is packaged. I know it would increase the cost of the paper, but it would be worth it to me.

Great results on a great paper at a great price!

I received 2 samples sheets each of the Red River Polar Gloss Metallic and Polar Luster Metallic, and after printing them each with a colorful landscape and a Webb telescope image, i am hooked! Just got through ordering a nice supply of larger sizes at a terrific price and cannot wait to see my prints on them!!! Thank you also for your excellent service!

Beautiful results...

...and the image seems to glow from within. One of the best photo papers I've tried.
