GLOSSY PRINT FINISH
GLOSSY is a shiny and rich-looking print style option – the kind of prints most people are commonly used to. It tends to show fine detail well, but also shows fingerprints if you put your hands all over them. Always a safe choice, just don’t get your hands all over them and/or frame or stick in an album to avoid the mess.
LUSTRE PRINT FINISH
LUSTRE is not as shiny as glossy, but not as flat as matte paper either. As far as print style options go, it’s like an “eggshell finish” and is textured in a way that hides fingerprints well. Many portraits and wedding photos are typically printed using this finish as it gives kind of a classic look.
METALLIC PRINT FINISH
METALLIC is a high gloss finish print style option with very saturated colors. It really pops and makes it appear as though the image is printed on metal (think: back side of aluminum foil). Really cool looking but one thing to wary of is that the bright areas (highs) of the photo tend to be really over-highlighted on metallic paper. Other than that, this looks awesome.
