Professional quality photo paper with a glossy finish is smooth and highly reflective. The printed image will appear more vibrant and sharp with high color saturation, rich shadows, and bright highlights. A good application of the glossy finish is when you won’t be framing behind glass and want to showcase photos with vivid colors or contrast. The glossy finish enhances the photo color making it the perfect choice if you want to see photos with an extra “pop”.
Matte
The choice of professional photographers for gallery displays and fine art, matte photo paper has less shine than glossy, resulting in more muted colors. Matte is the preferred finish when displaying your photo prints behind glass by absorbing light in bright areas to reduce glare making your printed image viewable from all angles. Photo prints with a matte finish also will not stick to glass or acrylic photo covers when framing.
Deep Matte
Deep matte is a premium archival paper with a soft, non-reflective finish and a smooth, neutral-white surface. Its minimal shine makes it a popular choice for fine art photography, detailed illustrations, and contemporary decor. Designed for sharp detail and rich, accurate color, it delivers high-resolution results with strong contrast. Acid-free paper offers long-lasting quality, and a heavy base with an instant-dry finish helps reduce smudging and resist fingerprints.
Lustre
A combination of glossy and matte, lustre photo paper highlights the advantages of both finishes. Lustre paper produces vibrant colors without being as reflective as glossy paper. Like matte photo paper, lustre is ideal for framing but preferable for accurate skin tone recreation. Lustre is often the favored finish for professionals printing portrait photography and is considered a nice balance between the features of glossy and matte.
Pearl
Featuring a wide tonal range, Pearl Photo Prints have a slightly matte finish with a subtle, pearly sheen that adds depth and texture to the image. Pearl finishes allow for some shine and contrast and are often used for high-quality prints and photographs. It benefits from vibrant, deep color results, and a lower reflection quality than gloss paper. Pearl prints tend to be less prone to fingerprints and smudging than glossy prints.
