UltraPro Satin 270 Details & Information

Description

The Top Selling Red River Brand Paper for 18 Years

If you print, you have to have UltraPro Satin in your paper inventory. It produces professional quality results and works with virtually any image. The UltraPro Satin looks and feels just like photo lab satin - a lightly textured surface that breaks up reflections and minimizes fingerprints. UltraPro Satin features a medium depth texture - just the right amount to enhance your prints without being distracting. A brilliant, bold white, it is particularly good at reproducing deep blacks and higher contrast. You will see a wider color gamut as well as smoother tonal transitions. Your black & white photos will be neutral and crisp.

Ideal For:
  • Anyone who wants the look and feel of a professional photo lab
  • Saturated colors, neutral B&W, and smooth tonal transitions
  • Images with deep blacks and rich color
  • Any inkjet printer

Satin Shows Splendidly

William Baker, Aug 29, 2026

Like the luster surface, satin provides a nice semi-gloss finish to photos. Its weight is slightly less than luster, which is handy when you need to snail mail photos to friends and relatives.

Refil UltraPro Satin

Bill Struth, Aug 20, 2026

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.
