Premium Matte 230 is a professional-grade photo matte inkjet paper. At 11 mil thickness and 230 gsm, Premium Matte Plus is thicker and heavier than retail-brand premium matte papers. The extra weight and thickness convey superior quality and allow the paper to handle the heaviest ink coverage. Cut to size and pre-scored for easy, clean folding, these cards are built for premium projects that demand maximum impact and durability.
Matte papers are excellent when you need to focus on the details of an image without any reflective distractions. They also lend a subtle character to images that might not benefit from the punch of glossy or satin media. Graphic designers, illustrators, and artists often choose matte paper because it works so well at reproducing original artwork.
Ideal for:
- Color and black & white photography where detail perception is important
- Anyone who likes the subtle non-reflective matte finish
- Art reproductions, graphics, illustrations, posters
- Any inkjet printer
Good to know:
- Pre-scored for easy folding and professional presentation.
- Thicker and heavier than retail brand premium matte papers.
- Smooth, non-reflective surface. Bright white tone.
- Compatible with dye and pigment inks.
- Acid free base stock. Acid free coating.
- Back of this product is plain paper, suitable for text printing.

Best Matte paper available
George Goben, Jul 14, 2026
I have have used many well known brands and types of matte papers. And I have settled on Red River Premium Matter 230 as my paper of choice. I have found it to be excellent for portraits, landscapes and everything in between. It has deep rich colors, presents excellent detail and sharpness, it is a very nice weight and it stays flat. It is my photo paper of choice for most of my photos. Excellent.
matchless paper
Ronald Hammond Hammond, Jul 02, 2026
I ordered a larger size that my usual to make prints for a friend. He and I are both delighted with the look and feel of them. The blacks are *really* black with almost a silver-print appeal. The paper, sold as matte, is not-very matte -- just what we wanted. Under glass the prints sparkle!
Exceptional Paper Leads to Increased Sales!

My business currently runs on what I print and sell of cards and matted reproductions of my paintings. Both are sold in local museums and galleries. So many love my work they’re always asking me to make cards as that’s all they can afford. Thanks to Red River Paper I’m able to make quality cards enjoyed by all! It’s a great marketing tool with my website info on the back, brings sales to my online store!
