Great Proofing Paper
Jack Pohler, May 10, 2026
I like to use a thicker paper for a final print, but find this paper a very good paper for proofing. I don't obsess over details so someone else might disagree, but I find the prints to be accurate for my purposes and the cost low enough to encourage experimentation.
Suggestion

It would really be a benefit if there could be less expensive proof paper with the characteristics of the papers in consideration.
My Standard
Paul Roark, May 04, 2026
Red River UltraPro Satin has become my standard "fine art" substrate/paper for all the work I sell through Gallery Los Olivos or online.
After growing up in a home with a darkroom and serving as my high school's sports photographer, it didn't take me long to realize that high-end inkjet printing could exceed the quality we achieved in the darkroom. With a brother who was a PhD chemist, I decided early on that carbon would make the best archival black-and-white prints, and with modern inkjet printers, the LK, PK, and K are mostly carbon.
What substrate or "paper" to print on was still questionable. Over the years, I have used almost all types of printing paper. Buyers were, obviously, most interested in what looked the best. A satin finish won that contest. It produced the best combination of visual dynamic range and resistance to environmental damage.
I tried a number of satin-finish papers from various manufacturers, and the Red River UltraPro Satin simply won that overall competition. I have been selling black-and-white photo prints for many years, and Red River UltraPro Satin has become my standard -- really the only "paper" I need. Very convenient!
