Almost Perfect
Nate Miller, Oct 02, 2026
Broadly speaking, the paper from Red River is of a high quality. I’ve had a few issues with feeding and color, which had to be solved outside of the information provided in their resources, but that’s to be expected, since each printer is different. I find that they generally pack and ship at a good pace. Frustratingly, when you buy larger packages of paper, (100 sheets of 60# ish or 50 sheets of 100#ish) the paper comes in the standard 50 or less sheet box, leading to the paper overflowing the box. I’ve had a non-insignificant amount of paper damaged because of this, as the paper has a tendency to fly about when you open the box, and the lid doesn’t stay closed if your store the box on it’s side. Upon contacting support, they suggested I buy extra boxes for $5 a box. I’m not sure that’s a reasonable answer, as generally, products should come in appropriate packaging. Other than that, I’m satisfied with the quality of the product.

Quality Paper
Steve Standiford, Sep 11, 2026
I have an Epson P900 with the roll paper adapter. I have now owned it for 16 months. Very pleased with it so far. I have ordered 17” x 22” glossy photo paper, 2 rolls of 17” x 100’ paper and this sample pack. I am very pleased with the paper from Red River. The printer loves the paper as well. Never a jam, only the best photo possible. The sample pack allowed me to try different paper that I had never used in 20 plus years of printing. The different amount of fiber in the samples made great prints. Probably not for basic printing but for special pictures you wish to keep or frame.
It would be nice if you identified the paper with a sticker on the back and not at the bottom. My opinion. I sometimes like to print borderless. That label prevented me from being able to test it. I didn’t want to waste my precious ink.
Thank you and I will look forward to purchasing the new paper I learned that I sampled. Thank you.
The Single Best Photography Investment I've Made in Years
Michael N Curtis, Sep 07, 2026
Like a lot of photographers, I find myself getting sucked into the annual hype cycle of new camera bodies, glass, and gadget reviews. But looking back at my recent gear choices, the single best purchase I’ve made for my photography wasn’t a new lens or a camera body—it was switching to Red River Paper.
After 37 years serving as a civilian Army photographer, I don't look at gear through the eyes of a hobbyist. I look for consistency, professional reliability, and uncompromising print quality. Red River Paper delivers on every front.
What sets them apart is the incredible selection of surfaces and finishes. Whether you need a smooth, rich baryta for deep contrast, a subtle luster for vivid colors, or textured fine art stocks that give images a true tactile depth, they offer a sheet for every artistic vision. The quality matches or exceeds the legacy paper brands, but at a price point that actually makes sense.
Seeing your work transition off a glowing monitor and onto a physical, tangible sheet of archival paper changes how you view your own craft. If you want to elevate your final image output without spending thousands on hardware upgrades, Red River Paper is hands-down one of the most rewarding investments you can make.
