Finish Photo Paper For Free

Lustre and metallic finishes are both used by professional photographers. Choosing between a lustre or a metallic print comes down to personal preference. Both provide vibrant colors and high-quality photos. If you want to hang up a photo in your home, we suggest the metallic finish.

Satin ? a less shiny coated sheet. It has a lower gloss level than gloss finish, yet a higher gloss level than matte finish. Colors are sharp and vivid. Matte ? a matte coated paper is a non-glossy, flat looking paper with very little sheen.

Keep the paper in a close box. Preferably in its original packaging. Keep it away from direct light, heat, dust and humid conditions.

If you are planning on displaying your photo prints behind glass, a matte finish is definitely the best choice. Not only will matte photos not stick to the glass of photo frame, but they will also reflect less light, making them much more enjoyable to look at.

In most cases, a matte finish is better than a glossy finish because photos look incredible, and there are fewer downsides. Most professionals use a matte finish because of the great image quality, nice texture, zero glare, and how good it looks in a frame or behind glass.

In general, though it's not always the case, professional photographers tend to choose matte over glossy because of the lower likelihood of glare and fingerprinting. While matte tends to play up texture, the image may look bit grainer because of that enhanced texture, however.

surface paper?also called luster, satin, pearl, and sometimes semigloss?is a premium finish on a heavier paper. It's normally the number one choice for photographers. It boasts accurate color, realistic saturation, excellent neutral flesh reproduction, and great intensity.
