Polar Gloss Metallic 255 Rolls

Traditional Style Photo Paper with Glossy Pop

SteveM, Jun 06, 2026

Polar Gloss Metallic 255 is more of a traditional photo paper that has added pop and detail than a brighter photo paper like Pecos River Gloss 155. Pecos River Gloss 155 provides more red tone which can complement some skin tones but lacks detail and sheen although in my photo comparison below my phone favored the Pecos paper. If you look close Trumps face & his flag vest pin show much better detail. My phone brightened the Pecos paper for his suit coat and shirt, in room light natural the Metallic paper has a much richer color and more true color format, the Pecos looks flat over all. Both papers are very nice however if you need a more professional paper Polar Gloss Metallic will not do you wrong.

I used Polar Gloss Metallic 255 for my artwork at The Other Art Fair - Dallas and the quality immediately stood out.

While the attached image does not fully capture the richness of this paper, seeing it in person is a completely different experience. The depth, color, and subtle metallic finish truly elevates the work.

During the show, a collector asked what paper I printed on. When I shared that I used Red River Paper and an Affiliate, that moment led to not one but two purchased pieces from the collection.

This paper didn’t just support my artwork it helped communicate its value.
