Aurora Art White 250® Details & Information

Description

Made in the USA using 100% cotton, Aurora Art White 250 brings elegance and nuance to your photography and art prints. This acid-free paper features a pleasing white tone and semi-smooth surface. Plus, Aurora Art White 250 contains minimal 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.

Top quality art printing paper

I recently printed twenty scanned black and white drawings on Aurora 250 paper. The paper is beautiful and has a soft finish but the prints are sharp and clear. My printer is a Canon iP8720 and the 250 fed through the printer with no problem. I did not have to adjust for the thickness, but I fed the paper through one sheet at a time for extra care. \n\nDue to the paper finish, I think the ink is "in" the paper, not just "on" the surface. And no bleeding or smearing detected.

Best paper for hand embellisments

Alexandria Olivia, Mar 23, 2026

I used this paper to make prints of a series of Cuban cigar women I made using graphite, ink and gold leaf. I was able to hand embellish the prints to make each one unique and more special for my collectors. This paper is perfection.

Best water shots

Ed Obermeyer, Mar 03, 2026

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.
