Great for professional looking prints!
I love this paper. It is so beautiful and professional looking. It is thick but not too thick to go through my Epson ET-2850 inkjet printer. I will be reordering!

Best water shots

I use the polar gloss metallic and aurora white exclusively with my prints. The quality and support on my epson printer is beyond expectations.
My fave
John Ward, Mar 02, 2026
I tried out a number of your matte papers using the Red River sample offers, and settled on Aurora White. I'm now printing for a 40-image exhibition (mostly B&W) in a hometown gallery. The 17x22" Aurora is performing at the top of its game. Love the solid feel and the soft artistic look, but it still holds details. I chose the 250 gsm variety because it feeds easily in my Epson P900.
Stunning
Teresa W Zucker, Feb 24, 2026
I have struggled with paper that didnt break the bank AND offered beuaitful prints from my art work. I am over the moon happy with this choice and the support from Red River is insane. WHY are there even other companies out there ??haha
