Papers with the Archival designtation can take many forms. They can be glossy, matte, canvas, or an artistic product. These papers are acid free, lignin free and can be made of virgin tree fiber (alpha cellulose) or 25-100% cotton rag. They are likely to have optical or fluorescent brightening agents (OBAs) - chemicals that make the paper appear brighter white. Presence of OBAs does not indicate your image will fade faster. It does predict a slow change in the white point of your paper, especially if it is displayed without UV filter glass or acrylic.
Archival Grade Summary
Numerous papers - made from tree or cotton content
Acid and lignin free base stock
Inkjet coating layer acid free
Can have OBAs in the base or the coating
Photobase Coating Acidity
Photobase resin coated (RC) inkjet papers always have a slightly acidic coating. The acid content (pH 6.8) makes instant ink drying possible. The level of acid content is not high enough to affect print stability over time.
The base stock of all Red River inkjet papers are acid free.

Never thought I'd write a review for paper
Gregory

The paper itself:
It has a great texture that can really only be appreciated when you are up close to view art. The color was retained beautifully, and even thought it is textured, the details of what is printed is never compromised.
So much to say about this paper/company. First, I bought this paper to make artist prints from home. The ordering process was simple and quick. I forgot to click order, but RRP reminded me I had it in my cart (great customer service). When the paper had arrived, I loved how carefully it was packaged. There is no way your order will ever be damaged by their dedicated care. Once I opened the box of paper, I noticed the subtle branding of a single protective red sheet of paper NICE TOUCH. There was even a sheet with detailed instruction for different printer companies. These guys thought of everything

A game changer
Brianna

My goal for art prints has been to print on a linen paper. I was trying out cheaper papers from hobby stores and it was awful. No matter how I changed my printer settings, it just looked terrible.
When I tried the red River linen, I almost cried. The print was STUNNING. And the price per sheet was about 7 cents different- super minimal.
I can’t wait to start selling art prints on this linen paper. The colors are so bright!

The change I made from Glossy cards to Linen was perfect. The end result adds more depth to my images and projects a more valuable look to my product. I won't be going back.

This paper simply looks classy. I was impressed how sturdy the boxes are for both the paper and the envelopes: evidently someone was thinking! I also appreciated all the resources provided by Red River: templates, printer profiles and how to articles, I used them all.

Simply Beautiful Paper
Marge
06/03/2022
I'm new to art prints but came across the Red River Papers on a blog and was intrigued with the linen texture. I ordered some to try as the base for my watercolor prints and love how they turn out. The linen texture is timeless and stunning when you hold the paper, but when on display you don't notice the texture (that's when it's about the art print!)
