What are the differences between matt and gloss paper?
A. Apart from the obvious answer, there are a couple of differences. Glossy paper reflects light and the colours appear vibrant such as the photos you get developed with a camera. If you’re in a well lit area these can sometimes be hard to see if the light is bouncing off the surface and tends to be used with detailed photographs. Matt prints on the other hand don’t reflect the light and have a rougher texture. Due to this matt prints don’t tend to show fingerprints as easily as with gloss prints.
