Photo Greeting Cards are great

Mark Gotchall, Sep 26, 2026

I have been using Red River Paper for quite a few years. When I first started the greeting card guides and templates were very helpful. The paper is always package well, I have never had a damaged shipment. My customers are happy and so am I.

gary meyer, Sep 25, 2026

Been printing on this gloss 230 for about 5 years hundreds of greeting cards for the nature centers and have never had one not print perfect very happy with this product would never even think of looking some something different


Great for Photo Note Cards

Jack Schlessselman, Sep 24, 2026

I've been using Red River Paper Pecos River Gloss 230 #8461 for over 20 years (previously called 60Lb Pecos River Gloss #8461). This paper is High-Gloss on one side and plain, printable on the other side, which makes it perfect for my 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" photo note cards. I make 2 note cards from each 8.5" x 11" piece of photo paper. Outstanding color reproduction and perfect for my needs. This paper is not scored for folding, but that's not a problem, even though the paper is sturdy card stock. This photo paper is highly recommended.
