Basic Differences of the finishes:
- |
Smooth: Delivers excellent results on most subjects, it is the most versatile and popular option. |
- |
Textured: Enhances the uniqueness and artistic feel for specific subjects, but its surface is more fragile. To reduce risks, bare prints are not offered, framing is required. |
- |
Matte: The paper looks flat enough, eliminating the need for permanent mounting, results in lower framing cost and greater durability. |
- |
Gloss/Semi-Gloss: Ideal for dark-tone/low-key images or metallic subjects for a more lifelike appearance. But the paper may not look very flat due to the glossiness, may need permanent mounting. |
