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.

Great cards for individual art work

Rita Fryer, Nov 22, 2023

love these cards! I use them for individual watercolor cards. The paper holds up well, even for wet on wet techniques. The colors stay vibrant

Artist's favorite

Steve C., Jul 12, 2022

I create prints for my artist friends and they all love this paper! I have a friend that does pencil drawings of feathers that are SUPER detailed and my prints are indistinguishable from the originals. Her work hangs in the Audubon Society in Pennsylvania with John Audubon's works! I also create cards which they sell in their gift shop.

Unfortunately disappointed

Jennifer Leichty, Jun 22, 2022

Coloring was dull and not as vibrant or detailed as other fine art papers I have used in the past. Disappointed with the quality and was not able to make a return.

Aurora Art Natural 250 for Art Prints

Maria Palmer, May 03, 2022 - mdpdesigns.etsy.com

I purchased this paper to use for art prints of my watercolor paintings. It has just enough texture to embrace the watercolor elements and prints are outstanding. I will continue to use this paper.

Favorite Paper for Watercolor Reproductions

Madison, Apr 18, 2022 - maddieandthemoon.com

A photographer friend who always raves about RRP turned me onto the Aurora Art Natural 250 paper after I decided to start making prints of my watercolor illustrations. I've tried multiple papers for making archival prints and this 100% cotton, natural-toned paper is perfect for my needs - it is very similar to the hot press cotton watercolor paper I create my original paintings on. I use an Epson SC-P700 and have no trouble feeding one sheet at a time as long as I clean the rollers regularly. Otherwise, the rollers collect a lot of lint from the cotton paper and will cause the printer to misfeed. I'm very pleased with the paper, the packaging, and the customer service at Red River Paper.

Fine Art Finish to Greeting Cards

Joanna Worster, Feb 20, 2022

I use the Aurora Art Natural card stock when I want bright color but not a glossy finish. I have been very happy with the results for landscape and flower as well as animal photos.

Aurora Art Natural greeting card stock

Blair Logue, Jan 15, 2022

Well, I usually print my cards on 60# Pecos river Gloss. I bought the Aurora Art Natural on a whim to try, because it was on sale. It is a very good paper but I still prefer the Pecos River I will use this paper but won't be buying it again.

Aurora Art Natural Greeting Cards

Barbara Houghton, Jan 13, 2022 - barbarahoughtonphoto.com

Printing my holiday cards and note cards is a breeze with this paper. It made them special to all who received them. I have used this paper for years for cards and also the roll or sheet for artwork and artist books.

Wonderful paper, but not with my Canon PRO-1000

Alan S Kay, Dec 31, 2021

I love this stock, but I simply can't use it with the PRO-1000. Despite attempts at help from Canon and RR support, I simply could not get it to feed -- even single sheets with hand assistance went less than half the time. So I won't be ordering any more of this -- too bad!

Feeding multiple greeting cards might be a problem

Harry Newell, Dec 22, 2021

I liked the way my greeting card prints looked on Art Natural 250, but I found that I had to babysit attempts at printing multiple sheets on my Canon pro-100. Even after I carefully cleaned the rollers, my attempts at printing even half a dozen cards unattended failed. I tried both alcohol swabbing the rollers, and Canon's roller cleaning utility without success.

Canon Pro 1000-will not feed

Chris Reiss, Dec 09, 2021 - Chrisreissart.com

With Canon Pro 1000: too thick to feed in to top tray, too small to feed in to manual tray. Was able to find a work around: create a template on larger paper and stick to template with weak/temporary acid-free adhesive.
Paper it's self beautiful, pleasant texture, best price for archival matte paper I've found. Look forward to using more in larger sizes.

Not good for Epson P900

Tim, Dec 01, 2021

The is fantastic-lovely texture and feel and my art reproduces well. My issue is with my printer. If you are using an Epson SC-P900 I must caution you. Mine stops feeding this paper after 4 sheets at the most. Again-this printer has known feed issues, I don’t think it’s necessarily the fault of the paper. It could also be the greeting card size (6.25-9) I’m not sure how it works with full sheets. I wish it got along better with my printer.

Just finished a big batch

Dan Murano, Nov 20, 2021 - https://danmurano.com

Thanks for the Epson feed tips - I had to clean the rollers several times on my P800. Results are excellent. Despite being listed as natural white, these are fairly bright. I'm very happy with them.

Perfect fo Watercolor Prints

Karen Beauprie, Sep 26, 2021 - www.BeausArtStudio.com

I’ve been using the Aurora Natural 250 to produce Giclee quality reproductions of my Watercolor originals for years. It beautifully replicates the vivid colors of my work resulting in a “near original” offering. I am so happy that Red River is once again offering the 250.
As a word of caution, the 300 thicker paper is almost impossible to feed through the Epson P600 even with hand manipulation and a lot if time.

Perfect for My Watercolor Prints

Jessica Flores, Sep 15, 2021 - https://www.jessicaflores.com

I use this paper to make giclee prints of my watercolor paintings on my Canon Pixma Pro, and I love it! The warm color and texture mimic the watercolor paper I use, making my prints that much closer to the original. Wouldn't use anything else for my fine art prints!

Lovely finish and great print quality

Jen Singh, Sep 04, 2021 - www.jensingh.com

I bought this paper for printing fine art greeting cards and love the weight and natural finish. Easy to use with my Epson P800!

Fine art paper

George Repetti, Aug 08, 2021 - DanielleRaynePhotography.com

I have been using a high quality fine art paper which was very expensive, but the pictures I printed for my business were excellent. Without sacrificing quality I was looking to reduce the per sheet cost and Aurora Art Natural 250 is a perfect replacement at 1/3rd the price.
