New Epson Printer for Greeting Cards

The Epson Artisan 50 looks to be a worthy printer for printing your custom photo note and greeting cards on Red River greeting card papers.

With six colors and a rear feed tray, the Artisan 50 should be a dandy choice for any of Red River’s glossy, matte, specialty, or fine art card stocks.

A new Artisan 50 is on the way to RRP HQ today. We’ll have a full review of this new machine shortly.

New Paper – 60lb. Premium Gloss Inkjet Greeting Cards

60lb. Premium Gloss is a cast coated inkjet paper. This paper has the same coating as the long time best seller, 53lb. Premium Gloss. The new paper features a heavier and thicker base stock.

Cast coated paper is the “traditional” inkjet gloss that feels more like a sheet of paper than a photo. One of our most popular papers, this card-weight, blue white sheet features a mirror smooth reflective printing surface. Premium comes in a variety of sheet sizes and offers high quality reproduction.

If you’re a fan of glossy paper for photo note cards (and have a dye ink inkjet printer) then you should consider a box.

Have a pigment inkjet printer? Never fear! Our new pigment friendly glossy greeting card will be here in early June.
