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.

Horrible Product

This paper should not be sold by this company for greeting cards. It is very flimsy and does not feel like a good quality greeting card. Also when you write on the inside you can see the pen or pencil marks indented through to the outside. Do not buy this product you will not be happy with it.
Hello Ronnie,
I understand that our product did not work out for you. It has been our best-selling greeting card for an inkjet printer for ten years, but that does not mean that it is best for everyone. We do sell and recommend our greeting card sample kits to test the different cards before purchasing for your project. We hope you find the best paper for your cards and are here to help if needed!

I found this company online one day when I was looking for the glossy greeting card. I have been buying them from your company for a while now since Hallmark no longer sells them and I truly love these greeting card stock. I make birthdays, sympathy, weddings, graduations, and more for everyone. I can’t do without them and thank you for your service. Well pleased and will continue to buy them.

Best in the World

I have been buying this product for some years, originally through a company in Australia. This company ceased stocking Red River products, so I went looking online for a similar product in Australia, only to find there were none. I started buying direct from Red River, finding I was actually getting twice the number of cards per pack and even with freight, it was costing me less than when I purchased in Australia. Fantastic products. I am a photographer and will not use anything else for my greeting cards. Also great support.

Impressed with this paper
Steven

Printer Used: Canon Pro 100 using Canon ink.
The paper was the 60 lb. greeting card glossy on 1 side plain on the other.
Regarding curling issues or ink splotches we have had no issues with this paper and printer combination. Of course I had made sure that the rollers and bottom plate were cleaned before starting.
As to image quality both my wife and I in addition to the folks who received our Christmas cards were very impressed with the quality of the card and images.
I would like to order more of this paper without the indention's for my regular glossy paper.
Thank you Red River for the great job you do on these papers.
