Red River Paper Polar Matte 230 Double-Sided is designed for professional photo and art printing on both sides of the sheet. Featuring the same finely tuned matte coating and premium base stock as Polar Matte, this version adds full double-sided inkjet coating for projects that demand image quality front and back.
The soft white, non-reflective surface delivers excellent ink holdout and smooth tonal detail on both sides, while the substantial 230gsm weight gives prints a refined, high-end feel. It’s an ideal choice for portfolios, greeting cards, books, and presentation work where consistency and durability matter.
Polar Matte 230 Double-Sided performs beautifully with landscapes, black-and-white photography, artwork, design, and more. Its glare-free surface keeps attention on fine details and subtle tonal transitions, regardless of viewing angle.

Superb calendars and greeting cards
Rex Couture, Jun 18, 2026
What to do with thousands of pictures? Make calendars and greeting cards for my friends, of course. The calendars had to be big, of course, and they had to be perfect, printed to my own standards. Because I was printing them myself I could do this, and do it economically.
Polar Matte 230 Double-Sided 11"x17" worked beautifully with my Epson ET-8550. I had no problem with the paper, and the print quality was superb. In normal, diffuse room light the paper is comparable to glossy paper in contrast. I actually prefer matte because the results are beautiful and reflections are suppressed. I wish that size came in grain long, but nevertheless it is thick and stiff enough for landscape orientation in calendars.
In 10 calendars (130 double-sided sheets) I did not have a single defective print. I had no problem with feeding small stacks, and I did not have a single misfeed with Polar Matte. The paper sheds little or no dust into the printer, which can be a problem with some matte papers.
Compared to the alternatives, the total cost per sheet is very modest, which is important for calendars. Thank you, Red River.
