Aurora Fine Art White Printer Profile Experiment
I love the clear colors of this paper. I use a cannon prixma pro 9000 mk II. With a little experimenting I found that using the high resoltion type media and a profile of Canon pro90000 Mark II series GL1 I have gotten great results! Print matches my NEC monitor perfectly.

Aurora Art White 300 review

Melissa Gallo, Sep 30, 2026

This is without a doubt my favorite Red River paper! It is thick and luxurious but smooth enough to show crisp detail, which lends itself to the more subtle details of my pencil and pen and ink drawings. I also appreciate that Aurora White displays more of a true white than other papers because the colors of my paintings reproduce remarkably well on its surface.


Works good but

Luis Julian Medina Torruellas, Sep 27, 2026

I'm giving it a 4 not because of bad quality, but because I didn't research enough to know that my printer had issues accepting the thickness of the paper. But I manage to print some art on it, the quality is good! I totally recommended.

My go-to paper and supplier!

Sophie Perez, Sep 22, 2026

I have no complaints when it comes to Red River products. I use them for my illustration prints (with my Epson ET-8550) and the colors and textures come out lovely - especially when paired with Red River’s color profiles (this is a must!) Shipping is always timely and I can always count on the quality. I personally like Aurora Natural for my fine art prints but it is definitely worth it to buy a test pack of different papers as each one displays color quite differently. Overall, 5 stars!
