I have used Red River products for many years. I have found all of their products to be of excellent quality. My go to products are Polar gloss photo paper and the same in note cards. Also the envelopes that fit their note cards are of an unexpected high quality also. Red River provides templates for printing the note cards too. I recommend these products.
It's OK...

Images have not printed as vibrantly as I expected. Using the color profiles provided by Red River for their products seriously and detrimentally changed the way I expected colors to print and I had to abandon them. Then, I needed to remove one of the cards from the packaging and the sticky on the cello bag made contact with the card and ripped the ink off, just from the light adhesive on the cello bag. Totally ruined the card and I've had to add stickers urging caution when opening the product to all my cards. I've never had this happen before. Maybe I just chose the wrong product, but I'm not planning on ordering Pecos River Gloss 230 for my greeting cards again.
Great cards

I have printed literally THOUSANDS of these on my Canon Pro-1000 that I sell in local galleries and at my farmers market booth. Nice heavyweight paper, the inside is uncoated, so customers can easily write on the inside. Image quality is great, and I like the 200 card packs to get a little better price as well.
