Paper has yellow spots

I've received three orders recently of this paper that have been damaged. There are yellow spots all over it. I called today and right now, as of 12/12/13, they only have a damaged run in stock. Normally I love this paper and use it for photo cards all the time. It has a wonderful thickness and prints beautiful photos. When the paper is undamaged I give it five stars but the ruined paper takes it down to one. The company did say it's a known issue and they are working on it yet they are still selling a damaged run. If ordering anytime in the near future be aware that they only have spotted paper in stock or call and check the run number before ordering.

Great product, great customer service

Sandrine Geoffrion, Apr 24, 2026

This paper is really thick and is perfect for postcard. I downloaded the ICC profile made by RedRiver (I have an Epson ET8550) and the colors turned out really great and vibrant. I've tried a lot of paper from other places and the polar matte is by far the best printing quality and paper quality.
It is also to note that I've had a problem with the shipping of my order but Cindy of the customer service was really quick and effective to help me with that matter. I'm super satisfied both with the paper and the customer service.

Wanted to print up some Thank You Cards. Was just pleased with the turn out. Printed on a Cannon Pro 1000

Best paper for thick beautiful cards

Emily Sanchez, Apr 21, 2026

I love a good thick card. I use this paper for all of my A2 greeting cards, and I print with the Epson ET 8550. They are SO vibrant and smooth. Make sure you set your printer for thick paper! It’s no joke! But quality is unmatched.
