230 gsm double sided
Katie Le, Oct 14, 2026
Great paper product. I ordered the 230 GSM double-sided paper. I use it for trading cards and the images came out amazing very clear although, I wish I would’ve bought a thicker paper for my specific needs, but it is excellent quality paper. Customer service was quick and resulting. I will definitely be buying again. Shipping took a little long, but I did expect this because the paper was on back order and I was fine with that. I do definitely recommend this company for any of your paper needs.
Still in an exceptional product

I just ordered several different sizes of this product and have already used each size several times since they arrived. I was amazed that after 5 years the photo paper performed as I have come to expect, producing professional looking photographs now taken with a phone as opposed to a high-end 35mm camera. I have been so impressed with this photo paper over the many years I’ve used it that I shared my preference with the Digital Scrapbook Community I belong to and learned that others in this Community have had the same experience. Keep up the good work Red River Paper.

I'm printing two kids' picture books—ALICE NEEDS A FRIEND and ALICE WANTS TO EAT THE MOON—on Polar Matte 230 double-sided, grain short.
Colors come out just right, and the books are holding up well to handling.
Could not be happier with the results and all the great advice I've received on paper and printers.
Red River Paper is the best!
