Consistently beautiful product. Our shop has used this paper for years, for art reproductions, portraits, fine art catalogs. Customer service is top notch, too.

Aurora-Natural 250 greeting card paper

Judy Huck, Sep 15, 2025

As an artist and photographer I have been using Red River Paper for some time. I currently use an Epson Ecotank 8550 printer for printing greeting cards. The Aurora-Natural-250 paper is excellent for this purpose.

Thoroughly Impressed

Kate Zibas, May 09, 2024 - https://www.etsy.com/shop/IllustrateKateStudio

I was very impressed with the level of customer care that this company demonstrated. They kept me fully informed on the shipping and delivery process, and provided me with many avenues to express any sort of concern or issue I had with my order. Everything was well wrapped and arrived in perfect condition, even with all the recent storms causing timing and quality issues with my orders from other companies. Each box of paper provided in-depth information on how it worked with different printers, which I found to be extremely helpful since I am an artist new to printing on my own. I used to outsource to save costs, but always paid for that in lack of consistency or quality. Now I don't have to! So far every penny here has been worth it.
Anyways, super happy with the paper and with Red River. I can see they truly care about the products they put out and the people receiving them.
