Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary
Numerous papers - made from tree or cotton content
Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free
Can have OBAs in the base or the coating

I am happy with the quality of the premium matte plus, but not so happy with the packing and shipping of the roll paper. The roll I received a few days ago was slightly damaged in shipping even though the the box shows little damage. Had the plastic end supports for the roll not been so flimsy compare to other brands such as Epson there would have been no damage to the paper. In addition, the paper is shipped with no outer box for protection. Roll paper I have received from ItSupplies, for example, is shipped with an outer box. I am hopeful that Redriverpaper will improve their packaging for roll paper in the future.

I use the premium matte plus for all of my giclee prints and they are STUNNING. Very soft and non reflective, this paper is perfect for creating fine art reproductions at a good cost.

I use these all the time -- nothing says thank you like a custom greeting card! Images print sharp and clear and the inside takes black ink perfectly for the message.
The price is right and they would be great for cards you want to sell.

60lb. Premium Matte Plus 7x10 scored Greeting Cards

I have been using this paper for several years to produce greeting cards using my nature photos. The only text I print is a description of what one sees on the cover of the card. Reproduction of my photos is excellent, the stock is sturdy, smooth and a nice white. The stock folds nicely and along with a linen finish envelope makes a nice combination. I am very happy with this paper.
