Very satisfied customer
I recently bought a epson 1430 to print greeting cards and prints. Im retired and live in a small coastal town in nw florida. We get many tourist thru here so Im going to try and sell nature and landscape photos. In setting up the epson I got great help from red river particularly on one late afternoon call to RRP. I talked to Drew Hendrix and he spent a good amount of time helping me as well as emailing tutorials and other tube videos he searched for me as we talked. Very patient and kind! Red River Paper is a one stop for my needs. I just now made another order with nice explanations to help me choose! Service is great! Shipping is fast! And packaging is excellent! You will be satisfied!
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.

Photographic Grade Paper
Photo Grade products are designed to look and feel like modern photo lab paper. Most photo grade media are resin coated, which means they have a paper core covered by a thin layer of polyethelene (plastic) . Plastic gives the paper its photo feel, stability (flatness), water resistance, handling resistance, and excellent feed consistency.
Prints on photo grade media are stable over long periods. With pigment inks in a protected environment, you can see up to 80 years on-display life. All RC papers are Photo Grade for two reasons. Plastic content is not technically archival by museum standards. Also, the inkjet coating of all RC papers is slightly acidic. It facilitates instant drying and does not actually change the stability of your inks over time. Virtually all RC papers have optical brightening agents (OBAs).
