Wonderful Paper

It is my favorite paper. It's also my 1st choice for most any print I make. I wish it came in 17x11 though as I have to order the 17x22 size, and then they cut it for me to size for an additional charge. But the paper is great.

Custom Cut Palo Duro Softgloss Rag Gives Me What I Need

Bottom Line Up Front- Red River Palo Duro Softgloss Rag (PDSR) is my favorite paper for photo printing. Of all of the prints I share with my co-workers, I get the most positive comments with the PDSR, especially with the panoramic prints I produce.
I had purchased the 13- x 38-inch size of this paper, but a 8.5- x 25-inch was not available. Key in Red River Paper's custom cutting service.
I ordered the 17- x 25-inch PDSR with the whole package cut into 8.5- x 25-inch sheets. It took a short bit longer to get my order than without the cutting service, but it was absolutely worth it. The package arrived with this paper cut perfectly into the size I requested, and now I have another size option when printing with this fantastic paper.

Lovely paper in every aspect but develops warping in box over time

I absolutely love this paper and have been using it extensively for several years. However, I recently had to use size 17x25 for a job and found out that for three of the four boxes I have, all sheets have a strong bulging in several locations. It's more like bubbles, rater than usual curling, which can be corrected with the right tool.
I attribute the issue to the lack of a plastic bag to protect the sheets in the boxes.
I also found that the sheets are very tight in the box(not allowing for proper expansion caused by temperature/humidity variations?)
All my paper boxes are stored flat in a controlled environment.
The only box that is still good is the one that has a protective bag for the sheets.
Hopefully, the plastic bags were added to the newer batches as a correction to this problem.

I'm big into blacks.

I shoot close-up photography, in studio, of flowers and plants that are in various stages of transition. I shoot with a solid black cloth background and was looking for a rag paper that would give me a true solid black. I also wanted some gloss but not too much. I came across Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag 315 in a RR sample pack. When it came out of the printer I knew I had found my paper. The blacks were gorgeous and the texture gave it the perfect amount of gloss. I also appreciate the extra thickness when printing in a larger size and placing it in a mat and frame.

Love this paper! I wanted something with a cotton base with a semi-gloss surface for my nature photos and this did the trick. Also comes it the odd sizes I needed (9x13 and 17x25). I plan on always having this paper on hand!

Absolutely LOVE this paper. I used this for my client's 25th Wedding Anniversary invitations where I printed a photo from their original wedding 25 years ago & tinted the photo as a backdrop to the printed invitation wording. It turned out amazing. The quality & thickness of the paper is superb which created an elegant invitation.

Palo Duro Softgloss in my standard paper. I work in black and white, with carbon pigment inks. This paper provides an excellent range of tones, with a very satisfying D-Max.

Exceptional paper!
Just wanted to let you know that I recently participated in a significant portfolio review where several of my reviewers commented very favorably on the paper I used for my 13x19 prints and assumed it was a Hahnemuhle paper. I assured them it was Red River! I love this paper and use it for most of my work.
