Best Matte Paper by a Landslide!

I absolutely love the 88lb Polar Matte Paper it's THE Single thickest paper I have ever used to print photos. I use this paper on my Epson Surecolor P600 printer.
The photos come out crisp and clear. I love this heavy paper because I paint on top of my iPhoneography to add elements of texture with Acrylic Paints and often do Gold Foil Leafing to my work. Makes for a great Mixed Media Piece and holds up to the paint and leafing. It makes for a truly one of a kind piece.
It also works wonders for printing straight Black and White photos and color as well. I love this paper. It's between this and the Metallic paper from Red River that are my two go to's for all my printing needs!

After several tests throughout a few weeks I found that the weight and color of the 88lb Polar Matte to be exceptional. When printing on this paper it has a very good texture and enough brightness to have your photos pop but not be over bearing to the viewer. The tone and contrast of the photos hold up well and they just look great! Overall it is a very good paper!

Highest quality paper in the market

I never write reviews for anything but this one is 100% worth the time to write. I just received my 88lb 4x6 Polar Matte paper and I could not be any happier. I also bought the 60lbs Polar Matte, and also the 96lb Pecos River Gloss 5x7 (I have not tried this one yet but the paper quality looks great).
I just purchased a Canon Pixma Pro-100 so I can start printing my own greeting cards and only after I purchased it, I saw some bad reviews regarding card stock printing and color issues with the prints. I immediately panicked thinking this printer will not satisfy my needs and will have to return it and start researching a better printer. Well I tried all kinds of paper that I purchased from large and well known companies in the US and I was so disappointed to find out that the cardstock printing was indeed horrible with this printer. My designs are very colorful with a lot of depth in the colors (making it look kind of 3d) - I honestly thought it was the printers fault and was seriously considering to return it until I accidentally stumbled upon some comments about this great online paper company.
I just tested the first 4x6 print and i am stunned by how beautiful the colors look. I wish I could share a photograph. The paper is very high quality with a reasonable price and the shipping was extremely fast. There was also some miscommunication with the billing address and instead of just cancelling my order and sending me a generic email, an actual person reached out just asking to clarify the address instead of having me re send the order.

Such a Difference

I used the 88lb Polar Matte for printing postcards.
I can't tell you enough how much of a difference it makes to use this excellent-quality paper for prints. My illustration-style (vector, not photos) designs come out brighter, stronger, and crisper than on anything else I've used. I'd definitely recommend the 88lb weight for postcards; it's the perfect weight for mailing without an envelope.

This is my new favorite paper

I upgraded to this from 60lb Polar Matte for my fine art prints. I am so happy I did. I do some hand embellished prints where I paint metallic gold paint on to the print, and this paper never warps or wrinkles from it. I get lots of reviews from costumers that are amazed by the quality of this paper. They are pleasantly surprised by the “museum quality”. I am getting more return buyers and I know it is partly due to this paper.

Love paper, amazing for B&W prints and it makes my paintings look amazing! Occasionally I found a batch to have hidden marks if you print flat black surface but support was quick to help and resolve the issues. Wish there were more sizes though, for instance 5x5 which is common for artist to use on small prints.

Great Paper. Slightly Too Thick.
Ryan Simpson
12/07/2019
This paper is very good. The only issue is that it is slightly too thick and tends to want to warp and bow. The 60 lb. option of the Polar Matte is slightly too thin and can more easily bends and crinkle. I wish this paper was available somewhere in the 70 lb. range and it would be pretty perfect.
