Polar Matte
Tony Ulchar, Mar 26, 2026
Polar matte is the "standard" matte paper offering in our print lab. Most people we meet don't understand the difference between matte and luster and almost always turn away from matte - until they see how it make BW images POP. Our personal favorite for landscapes and high contrast portraits unless the client opts for one of our FineArt options (also RR stocks)
Amazing Results and Big Timesaver

I create greeting cards from my own illustrations. I print my cards on an Epson ET 8500 and the cards look amazing. Such a bonus that they are to size and scored which has saved me hours of work. Have already gone though 3 boxes of 200 since my first order in January.
