Aurora Art White 250 and Premium Matte 230
Bruce Hurley, Jul 28, 2026
For several years I've been printing on Aurora Art White 250 and have been very happy with the product. I recently tried Premium Matte 230 and am very happy with it too. I make digital prints that start off as ink on paper and finished in Photoshop. Thanks for providing both of these quality papers.

Excellent Prints
Phillip Salata, Jul 24, 2026
The Aurora White 250 is the perfect paper for making prints of my watercolor artwork. Images are sharp and it feeds through the printer perfectly every time.
