Beautiful color

I was so impressed with the rendition of color on this paper. The prints were gorgeous, crisp and works great for bookmaking.
Incredible Depth of Color
Laura Pang, Jul 23, 2026
I am strictly an amateur occasional crafter who enjoys creating digital collages for relaxation. Sometimes, I really like what I create and want to print it out. I do not have a sophisticated printer (just an Epson ET-3830), but even so, I am amazed at the richness and depth of color that Red River's Baram Hanji photo fine art paper delivers. The attached image is a jpeg of a collage I've printed, and I find the intensity of color between it and the printed version to be essentially identical.
Fine Art Printing
Tim Anderson, Mar 29, 2026
I enjoyed working with these newer papers, Baram Hanji and Noori Hanji, even though I don’t usually work with “exotic” papers. As mentioned above, I also liked printing on the textured side, which gave a more refined fine-art feel.
When printing an image with a darker background and a nude figure, the Baram Hanji produced a softer look that worked well for the image.
I used the named profiles from the Red River Paper site with no difficulty at all with my Epson P800 printer. Using the more textured paper might benefit from displaying a print so that both sides would be visible. Just holding up a print against my monitor allows for a very soft look.
Baram & Noori

I really do like those 2 papers - Noori and Baram Hanji - definitely a handmade feel. I like the weight, too. My Epson P7000 handled them on the watercolor setting no problems. On both, I wish the coated side were the side with the more pronounced texture-each one was slightly different, but I think they would be hard to say which would be best for any given image or color/B&W usage.
I made both black and white and soft color prints. The feel in the hand is great, but once displayed, either behind glazing or mounted on a cradle board, that feel would go away.
I would not go any thinner with the papers. I use thinner washi papers that are easier to understand, but these RR papers are not those. I think coating the more textured side would give them a more usable and visually unique look.
Red River Paper(s)

I have been using Red River Papers for over a decade. Red River inkjet papers are market leading quality, for their Dmax (blackness of black), ability to represent gradations of greys and their construction and surface texture. I can say this because I also print on Hahnemuhle , Epson and Ilford papers and Red River is right up there with the best.
