Matte photo paper

For photos which will be regularly handled or moved, matte photo paper is preferable because it’s more robust. Not only is it less sensitive when it comes to fingerprints, it’s also more resistant to light. Matte paper is particularly suited to photo books which are viewed, passed around and handled by hand.

If you want to exhibit your photos, matte paper is ideal since it doesn’t create any reflection. It looks like real paper and light will not be reflected on its surface.

Matte photo paper absorbs more ink. As a result, it offers a much more contrasting image: black tones are sharp and powerful and the rendering of perspectives will enhance your photo. This is why matte paper is often recommended for black and white photo prints or for photos with dark tones (brown, grey, dark green, etc).

Bright tones (orange, red, etc.) are particularly dynamic and the paper offers beautiful subtleties when rendering shading.
