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.

Ultra Satin 2.0 is a fine paper
I've been using Ilford Smooth Pearl for most of my printing on my Canon Pro 9000 Mkll. I tried some of the RR UltraPro Satin after reading an on-line review. It produces great results using the recommended settings. Tried the Specific Printer Profile with Photoshop and it produced great results but I could see little difference from the generic printer settings. Great service, fast shipping, and a great price. I'm hooked.

Your Ultra Pro Statin is 'just the ticket'

Alexander George, Jun 01, 2026

I have been ordering quite a bit of paper, well that's relative, from you over the last year and just want to tell you how happy I am with your products and excellent service.

I have started using a better workflow and better PP tools that have enabled me to see my work in a new and significantly improved light. I know now that you can't really appreciate your work till you see it in print.
So I've been printing a lot of my work of the past two to three and even some from 10 years ago. In recent months I used to use textured paper because I strive to make my pictures 'painterly', but I now prefer papers with a more smooth, glossy finish.

Your Ultra Pro Statin is 'just the ticket' for me, along with the Luster Paper. I have also experimented with Polar Gloss Metallic but at this time I think it is most suited where Color is the subject of the picture.
I am not a Pro, I do this for my own enjoyment. I do submit my pics to International Competitions and have had many accepted. Printing plays a major role in judging suitability for entry.

Your execution of orders is exemplary, your prices are so reasonable for the quality, hope that continues with all of the pricing pressures we face.

Very Pleased

Elizabeth Kenneday, May 20, 2026

I am very pleased with the rendering of color in the final prints, and the surface texture is perfect for my needs. I will be continuing with this paper for quite some time!

Some issues printing with Canon G62

Ken Legus, May 18, 2026

My Canon G620 leaves a mark on the print in dark areas. It's hardly noticeable, but I can see it. I contacted Canon, and they sent a replacement, but it's still showing the mark. It only does it on the Ultrapro Satin 270.
