great for my artwork
I print on the UltraPro 2.0 Satin with an Epson R3000 printer for my Etsy shop. The quality of the paper is great and the colors of the artwork really pop! Love this paper!

"I look for a luster surface for my B&W images, but the paper must also take well to a sepia tone with the warmer whites that I prefer, holding strong. Red River Arctic Polar Satin prints that I output on my Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer give that edge to my work."

Love this stuff

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

Good stuff
Henry Winokur, Mar 26, 2026
RR's Ultra Pro Satin is the just about the only paper I use. My printer takes roll paper and since that's the least expensive way to buy it, that's what I use for almost everything if the print size is larger than 8 1/2" x 11", (my default size is 12" x 17"). I admit...I do use a non-Red River paper for "small stuff", but not for the "good stuff". You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a smooth white paper.
