High Quality Paper for Large Format Printing
Carla Brennan, Jun 28, 2026
I am a newbie at printing my art on a large format printer. I can use single sheets or rolls. Having the ability to get sample papers to try on the printer is important for me. Their website provides detailed information on all the sizes and roll diameters of their material. My printer has specific limitations on what it can and can’t print. Customer support has been extremely helpful If I have an issue with the paper or canvas roll settings. They test their paper on all brands of printers and know exactly how to solve printer paper/ canvas issues on my specific printer. The art prints on the paper and canvas are stunning. Red River is the best!
Excellent Card Stock
Howard Ragin, Jun 23, 2026
I wanted to create a series of cards from a trip to Italy. During the trip I took numerous photos of unique doors. I've had these images for several years and hadn't decided what to do with them. Then I thought these would make a great set of cards. The result is 15 cards in the current group (see example). The Polar Matte provided a wonderful surface for these images. The print result was terrific.
