Red River is better than the High End Brand Name Media
I have been in the Professional Motorsports and Wedding and Portrait photography industry since 1975 and I can tell all you Red River Customers, you wont find a better paper for the price and the whiteness and brilliant colors that this paper produces is absolutely phenomenal. I have shown my prints in contests and galleries and have won several best of shows and awards for my Red River Paper printed with not only Epson Printers but Canon printers, of course I use the higher end printers with great UltraChrome K-3 Inks and the Canon Inks, and if you know the right driver to set your printer on, your prints will be nothing more than Simply Stunning. Not only are there papers are great value, but the customer service is second to none. Drew and his staff go the extra mile to make everything perfect, from getting you headed in the right direction to helping in the whole process from the start to the very end.....There papers always come boxed in nice packaged sturdy boxes and no dog eared papers that you have to send back, you can not go wrong and their shipping is very fast. I would put there papers up with any thing that is out there on the market that is the Brand Name Papers and media.....So Give them a Try and Tell them Dennis Sent you.......Good Luck

Just in time for a gallery contest

Diane Irrgang, Mar 27, 2026

I realized my paper box was almost empty, with the Ocean City Arts centers annual contest about ready for entries in Ocean City, NJ. The theme this year is danger. I took a photo of 2 people entering the beach trail behind the Beach Closed sign and needed to get it printed and framed quickly. The order arrived fast (great service), and I was able to enter a great looking print. The paper really made my "Ignore" capture pop, showing the incoming storm, wild ocean waves, and stupid people before the hurricane winds arrived. The person that. took in the print, asked if I printed that myself and complimented the great colors. She wanted to know what paper I used. Thanks for a great product.


Excellent paper.

I used this paper and the Palo Duro Smooth 310. with the same picture. A picture off New York sky line at night from the Brooklyn Harbour. I can not decide which I like better both are beautiful but what a different look the paper makes. I will be buying more off both.

ULTRAPRO GLOSS 270

Wayne John, Feb 11, 2026

I'm printing with an Epson 8550. My usual go to has been the UltraPro Satin. The UltraPro Gloss adds a little more punch, in your face brightness. I like the smooth texture finish with this type of paper. Details are very crisp and clean. The weight is a little lighter than the ProSatin. Never disappointed with Red River papers
