Hudson River photographs on exhibit in "Landforms"
Joseph Squillante, Sep 08, 2026
Palo Duro Soft Gloss Rag is my go-to paper for exhibits and sale of fine art prints. It has all the qualities of the gelatin silver papers I have used in my 35 years of darkroom printing. I also appreciate your legacy sized papers produced by Red River. Your commitment to the fine art of photography is a great compliment to my work. Last year was my 50th anniversary on the Hudson River. Several prints exhibited in "Lens on the Hudson" at the Hudson River Museum, Yonkers, NY were printed on Palo Duro Soft Gloss Rag. One of which was purchased by the museumfor their permanent collection. I am now exhibiting in Beacon, NY at Beacon Artist Union where more Red River paper was used for this show entitled "Landforms."

Sample pages prints and large large prints differ
Stephen Lopuck, Aug 24, 2026
I was completely surprised by the difference in the look from the 8x11 sample page printed and the larger 17x25 printed. They were noticeably quite different. So I suspect the sample paper was mid labeled and a costly mistake for me!
Perfect: PALO DURO SOFTGLOSS RAG 315
Cheryl M Stewart, Aug 14, 2026
CEO Client wanted photos from cell phone to be blown up and framed depicting their company's origin locations for his office. They looked horrible. I was able to create artist pen and ink renderings which could not have printed any better than they did on the Palo Duro Softgloss Rag paper. I ordered it on a tight deadline and was able to get in plenty of time to meet the deadline.
