Used to love it! But...

Aurora used to be my go-to paper for making fine art prints - my collectors loved the quality, and I could call my prints "giclees" and run limited editions for a slight upcharge compared to open editions. Now sadly, the paper is too thick to run through my printers consistently (Canon Pixma Pro-100 and Epson 1430) and I've had to go back to offering only open editions, as no one else offers a good alternative that fits these specs. Its a shame.

Thick Paper

Brianna Ready, Jul 11, 2026

The paper has a nice weight to it and feels good in the hand, and produces high quality art-prints. When I can get the paper to run through my printer, Canon Pro 1100, they turn out beautifully. The image is crisp and the colors are rich. I would say this paper is not compatible with my printer, though. It is too thick and needs to be manually fed one by one (and jams the printer often), which slows production quite considerably. I use sizes 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14. The 5x7 and the 8x10 jam the printer almost every other print. The 11x14 is more reliable. I have tested the samples of Aurora Art White 250, and it seems to work much better, so I will be making the switch.

The Best!

Michael Waggett, May 24, 2026

I love the Aurora line of paper! I use the 300 greeting cards and the 8.5x11.5” for photos and art prints. This paper far exceeds other papers I’ve tried! The colors are vibrant and sharp!

Incredible Company

Caroline Hebbler, May 20, 2026

I am so happy with the orders I have made with this company. While I am local, I did not find out they were also close by until I went to order for the first time and despite becoming much more well known in the creative community for what they provide they always... ALWAYS provide top tier service. I love this company and will never again use anyone else.
