WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
new to the river...
I became the happy owner of a Canon Prograf - 1000 this spring. 17 x 22 paper can get pricey. Certain forums kept extolling the virtues of Red River papers. So, First I ordered a sampler pack. While waiting for it to arrive ( it was fast ) I came across an ebay auction for a BOATLOAD of inkjet photo paper. Mostly unopened packs of Red River paper. Guy said his printer died and he wasn't going to replace it. I got about $850 of RRP for $150! From 17 x 22 to post cards! I mean man - o- man! The sampler arrived first and I was well on my way to being very impressed! I mean, every print I made was just gorgeous; the metallics are to swoon over ( even my nit-picking spouse was impressed by the "pop" of the Polar Gloss Metallic ). The Arctic Polar Satin is as nice as any print I've seen out of a lab in my life and I've been doing this since the Carter administration! Now, get this: I came across a guy on youtube who showed how to print "longer" than 22" on the Pro 1000 so I got a roll of UltraPoll Satin 4.0 for making 17" x 36" prints. Just fantastic. And for much less than the manufacturer's brand of papers - also fine stuff but way pricier. Although I now have enough Red River paper to last me, well, a long long time, I know I will be back for for larger sizes and more rolls! The service and shipping has been first rate! You wanted a company review? Here, I'm a new customer and we're going to be in business together until I die, because i'm never going to retire. Oh, lastly, a lot of my photo printing is for use in litigation so I have some pretty demanding clients!
