Love the Arctic Polar Luster finish!
Craig Deshler, Mar 13, 2026
I am a hobbiest but pride myself on quality. I searched Staples, Canon's website and others to try and find quality non-gloss photo paper. Only Red River Paper had the sizes I wanted in the Luster finish that I was after. I bought a bunch of different sizes. Delivery was quick and the product is fantastic. Highly recommended!
First pano prints
Tom Veilleux, Feb 28, 2026
These were my first pano prints on the Canon Pro-100. One was more of a B&W print, though actually processed in color. The other was a blue water, shore bird photo. Both came out great.
The package came in well-protected.
