Are papers surfaces only glossy?
Substrates or materials on which images can be printed come in a wide variety of coated and uncoated materials. Most are paper cotton-based products that contain surfaces ranging from glossy, gel-coated to matte. Others come from plastic-based materials producing a smooth soft sheen to a high gloss. Fine archival paper materials can basically hold up as long as the inks used on them do too. But, it doesnt just end here. These days the artistic community has been producing images on foils and metals, translucent materials as well as wood.
