Aurora Art Natural 250® Details & Information

Description

Made in the USA using 100% cotton, Aurora Art Natural 250 brings elegance, warmth, and nuance to your photography and art prints. This acid-free paper features a pleasing natural white tone and semi-smooth surface. Plus, Aurora Art Natural 250 contains no optical brighteners. This is a benefit because the paper will remain its original shade over a long period of time. As an added bonus, you can print on both sides of Aurora. Neither too thick nor too thin, Aurora's 250gsm weight strikes the right balance between professional feel and ability to feed consistently into your printer.

Great Paper for Black and white Images

I’ve been printing black and white images on an Epson 3880 ever since that printer came out and this is the best paper I’ve ever used. What I like is that the Aurora Natural enhances the tonal scale of my images, especially the mid-tones. Using this paper, I get “lush” mid-tones which make for beautiful prints. I prefer Epson’s Advanced Black White Photo (ABW) option, set to neutral and dark, over the Red River profile, but either will give you a nice looking print. A truly wonderful paper at a great price.

Great results

Brian Wall, Sep 29, 2026

I inherited a large format Canon 200 pro printer and decided to give a go at making my own prints. I have to say that RR papers and this printer are equal to the quality I was getting from my printing house and I am able to tune on the fly, get immediate results with exceptional quality. I can't recommend it enough.

Excellent paper for my digital art prints

Francesca Cecioni, Jul 11, 2026

I ordered Aurora natural for my digital art prints after evaluating different samples of RedRiver paper. This was the best quality for the price. The paper performed as expected and took the ink impeccably. The only thing, I should have ordered the white one for my application, since I tend to pick warm colors for my art and the natural paper gave everything a yellow/orange undertone that I didn’t like that much. My fault, not the paper’s. I will remember next time!

Consistently beautiful product. Our shop has used this paper for years, for art reproductions, portraits, fine art catalogs. Customer service is top notch, too.
