As so often happens with amateur photographers, we strive to take a better photo, create a more beautiful scene, or present our work more seriously. Fortunately I am blessed with many mentors willing to share knowledge and kind words. This knowledge extended, recently, to my friend Steve who told me about Red River Papers.
Steve's advice: buy some sample packs, try out a number of different papers, see which ones give a product that you like. Then, he said, stick with that paper and become an "expert" in working with it. I gave RRP a try, purchased samplers, and went out on a limb with the card paper that was in my first order. I am very pleased. The papers are a pleasure to work with and the instructions for working with my first large printer, a Canon Pro100, are clear and easy to follow.
What pleases me about the paper and the service: the paper that I purchased has been excellent; the service was prompt and more timely than I expected given the reasonable shipping charges. The website is easy to use and contains quantities of very helpful information. I appreciate that the company is educating their clients as they are selling their products.
I have recently placed my second order. I expect to continue using Red River Papers.
