I have been using Polar Matte Double Sided for some time now. I love the paper! It has a rigid structure and yet a soft rag feel. I print and bind all of my portfolio images using the 11x14. The combination of the paper and the printing profile has a seamless color transfer in concert with my Epson R1900.

A good photographer buddy uses Red River paper almost exclusively, so I decided to try 60# Polar Matte a couple of years ago.
I am thrilled with the results, including the heavy weight of the paper, perfect for use in a the annual GBC bound book my camera club produces. In fact, I use the 17" wide 100' roll of 60# Polar Matte exclusively for all of my matte paper printing. My printer is an Epson P800. I would also like to say that Red River is a very trustworthy company who supports its community with lots of articles and reviews. In turn, I go out of my way to support Red River.

I use this paper for my card making business and it is the best paper I have found. People rave how nice my cards are and how professional they look. I use the 8.5 x11 sheets and most cards are 5 x 7 so very little waste on 1 sheet and this keeps my cost down on each card.

I love this paper. I use it to print note cards from my artwork. The paper is nice and heavy yet works well with my Epson printer. The colors are vibrant and it is good for writing on.

The colors of the painting is so close to original on the printed version.
This paper is amazing. I bought the sample kit of papers & this
Paper printed closest to the original. The double sided surface is excellent
To write on as well. Pure quality. I'm printing from a Canon TS9120 recommended
By Red River. I love this printer. Thank you Red River for your research &

Beware: NOT totally versatile for all printers

This double-sided card stock WILL NOT feed through the Epson XP-430 which is a tremendous disappointment to me, especially since I had inquired, before purchasing, if it would work with my particular Epson printer. It is not cost effective to use this beautiful stock with my Canon PRO-10 (which has no problem with the feed), but because of its costly 10-cartridge system, it is prohibitively expensive to use this printer for anything other than my professional photography ... NOT for cards. Many trials were implemented to get my Epson to print . . . NONE worked, and Epson won't offer support when any paper other than their own, is used.
Finally, Red River Support agreed with my problem and experimentation and issued this statement: "The feed mechanism is not putting enough pressure on the paper. The back side coating creates more friction than a plain paper back, which can lead to mis-feeds." I wish I had known this before spending $28.00 for stock and shipping. The only "compensation" offered was to use my Canon Pro-10 . . . not a good solution for customer relations, especially after all the time I've spent between correspondence and figuring out why the paper wouldn't feed. I hope this information will be put to good use to further prevent any misrepresentation with Red River Paper Products which I've been happily using for years, until this unfortunate incident.

Wonderful paper, great quality, love the finish and the double sided nature is such a perk! The paper has just the right weight for about any project, and the matte finish gives your blacks the beautiful velvet color you desire.

My favorite matte paper

I have tested many matte papers from a variety of vendors, and Polar Matte double sided is my favorite. Color renditions are about perfect (as usual, the RR profile is spot on), and the blacks and dark tones are beautiful. I find that when I look at many matte papers from a very oblique angle towards a light source that the surface looks a bit mottled over the dark tones. Not so with Polar Matte, which has beautiful velvety blacks that look good from any angle. One of the reasons I like matte papers is how they feel in my hand -- but not all matte papers are equal in that regard. The surface of Polar Matte is almost silky -- one of the nicest matte surfaces I have experienced.

Great paper
I make calendars each year for my dad and mother-in-law. Finding double sided paper is very difficult. The Polar Matte works great for the calendars. The weight and color retention are perfect.
