Needed more 16x20 and 11x14 paper. Red River has quick easy service with excellent delivery. Both sizes came as ordered, both did the job!
Beautiful, Professional-Looking Satin Finish
Bruce Hochstetler, Aug 20, 2026
UltraPro Satin 270 produces excellent results with my Epson XP-15000. I primarily use it for high-quality reproductions of record covers, inserts, photographs, and other collectible music artwork. Colors are vibrant, blacks are strong, and fine details reproduce very well. The satin surface has a refined photographic appearance with much less glare than glossy paper, while the heavier weight gives every print a durable, premium feel. This is an excellent choice when I want the finished piece to look as close as possible to professionally printed artwork.

Ultrapro Satin
Michael Nunnally, Aug 12, 2026
I’ve been printing with Luster paper for years, and I’ve now discovered your Satin. My recent project was 25 framed 5x7 prints as gifts. The satin texture is so much more refined, reducing gloss that still shows in luster paper from other companies. And the color rendition is excellent. The satin offers a more even finish that I really like, and will choose as my go-to for smaller prints.
