Reviews for Aurora Art Natural 300®

Aurora is new favorite matte paper
Patrick Murphy

Great product. Use with my Epson SC p800, and couldn't be happier. The p800 matte black ink goes just perfect with the finish of Aurora Natural, and the prints look beautiful behind glass/frame.

Works beautifully with my canon pro 200

This is my third order, as I’m an illustrator/graphic designer starting up a small online shop, I had been researching how to do my own printing after being let down too many times by local print companies. I came about red River from a blog that was giving ratings and reviews on paper types. I’d gotten espon and canon samples but they were pricey and just okay. I loved that red River has sections to find what paper types would suit my needs. It took away the guesswork and I ended up ordering the aurora nat 300 and I love it! I have to input a sheet one at a time but it goes through my canon pro 200 just fine. It comes packaged well with a how to use with different printers and how to store. I’ve ordered the 5x7 and 8.5x11. My prints come out great! Definitely my go to for my printing paper!

Each card is a fine art print

The thickness is a challenge for my epson printer, but attentiveness and persistence pay off. The weight and texture of these cards make them more than images on cards, they are fine art prints themselves. They are in a category way above anything else.

Verified Buyer
I was looking for a thick, high quality 100% cotton paper for making prints. The paper available on Amazon was way too expensive. I first ordered two sample packs so I could try different options and chose the Aurora Natural 300. The white was really nice as well, but I preferred the creamier look of the natural. It seemed more elegant. And the prints turned out perfect. They looked just like the original colored pencil drawing. I was also impressed with how it was packaged. It came in a durable box with lid with a clear description on the lid. I will definitely be buying from them when I need more paper. I even shared the website with my photographer sister. She was impressed with the selection available.

The paper arrived in good condition and I couldn't wait to give it a try. Unfortunately it would not work in my Canon PRO-100 printer. Apparently this printer will not work with any matt paper. Oh well.

purchased as a substitute for Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin
Richard Vallon
05/17/2022
nearly identical paper- prints the same , same weight, same rendering in shadows. Hahnenuhle has a tiny little bit more sizing - but this Red River paper is a true Matte. I really like this paper and at a cost far lower than the Hahnemuhle. The box the Hahnemuhle paper comes in is far nicer than the Red River Box... lol.

Excellent fine art paper. Top quality for making art prints suitable for displaying in museums, art galleries, or personal collections alike. The price for this quality of paper will have me buying much more in the future. It's nice that it is made in the USA as well.
