Glossy photo paper is made for images you want to look bright, detailed, and full of contrast. Its smooth coated surface holds ink near the surface of the sheet, helping photographs reproduce with saturated colors, defined details, smooth tonal transitions, and deep blacks.
That makes glossy inkjet paper especially well suited for colorful photography, high-contrast images, portraits, landscapes, commercial photography, portfolios, promotional materials, and other projects where image impact matters.
Not every glossy paper needs to have the same weight, thickness, or construction. Red River Paper gives you options ranging from lightweight everyday sheets to substantial photo stocks that have the weight and feel you expect from a professionally produced photograph.
For a classic photo-lab look and feel, UltraPro Gloss 270 combines a bright white base with a smooth resin-coated surface and 270 gsm weight.
When you want an exceptionally substantial print, Pecos River Gloss 360 weighs 360 gsm and measures 16 mil thick, making it the heaviest glossy option in the Pecos River line.
For cards and projects where the reverse side matters, Pecos River Gloss 230 combines a glossy image surface with a plain paper back that can be used for text and light graphics.
You can also choose Pecos River Gloss 320 Double-Sided when your project calls for high-gloss printing on both sides.
Glossy paper isn't limited to traditional photo prints. The right weight and construction can make it useful across a wide range of inkjet printing projects.

Choosing the paper based on the finished project is just as important as choosing the surface. A lightweight gloss can work well when you need flexibility or lower bulk, while a heavier sheet creates a more substantial finished piece.
