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

UltraPro Satin is Great!!
I purchased the 12x12 size of the 68lb UltraPro Satin paper to use with digital scrapbook pages and it is wonderful! I have always used matte paper but there is no comparison. I will be using the UltraPro Sating paper for my projects from now on.

I tried the Ultrapro Satin paper for the hawk image I've attached. It came out great.


Love this stuff

WC Rich, Apr 06, 2026

This paper does a wonderful job with color prints*. Black and white, too, though I usually print those on RR 60lb. Polar Matte.

* I have found that, with my setup using Lightroom Classic's Print module with my Epson P700 printer, the Epson profile suggested for this paper is way off. As an experiment, I used the icc profile created by my Calibrite Colorchecker Display and the related software. Print colors were then spot on. It works for other papers as well.

It makes sense. With a calibrated monitor, you adjust the file on the screen so it looks the way you want it. You make an icc profile, then you tell the printer to use that profile to print what you see on the monitor. This works for me. The colors in the prints look just like the ones on the monitor. And they look beautiful on the 68lb. UltraPro Satin 4.0
