Sample packs

Just upgraded to a Canon 310 printer. I am a long time Red River customer and have been happy with your products.
The 310 is an upgrade from an Epson ET 2750. I felt that going from a dye to a pigment printer required starting over so I ordered two sample packs of paper, the art paper pack and the photo paper pack.
I assumed the color output would be excellent overall and using your suggested media settings and your ICC profiles would produce fine results. I was not disappointed in this respect. It just shot out one fine print after another.
It should be noted that your profile package is extremely easy to download and install.
My principle reason for upgrading to a pigment printer was to make neutral prints indistinguishable from output from my darkroom. My benchmark silver gelatin paper is Ilford Multigrade FB classic.
For my test I selected a scan I knew well, got the printer and monitor calibrated and start printing.
I used Canon Professional Print and layout software in b&w mode to keep things uniform. In b&w mode this software bypasses ICC profiles. I was really curious to see how well this approach would work.
The only other variable in my shootout was to enable soft proofing and toggled between rendering intents and black point compensation on/off. With soft proofing enabled you really can see a difference in blacks on the monitor. Didn't expect that level of subelty. Nice
The b&w results were stunning. Some papers were better suited to the image than others but all looked good.
The paper that hit my darkroom mark perfectly was Palo Duro Softgloss rag. This is a wonderful product, I absolutely love it.
I also found the rc papers looked really good and offer excellent value for everyday printing.
My previous experience with Polar Matte made it a favorite and it looks terrific coming out of the 310.
Now if you would please make a paper that mimics Agfa Portriga Rapid I would be over the moon.

I have been using RRP for about six years . I used it for cards, glossy paper, matt paper and was happy with all but when the new metallic paper came out I was extremely happy and to make it better a new card paper came out also. I am totally happy RRP products. Thank you!
Excellent service, fantastic selection of paper

I've tried most of the high end photo papers and fine them to be excellent. The weight of the paper, the vibrancy of color - all of it is great! I'm using a Canon 310 ProGraf printer. Really good results with Red River paper. Service is wonderful, easy to order, quick delivery.
