What is the difference between glossy and non glossy (Matte) photo paper?
Glossy photo prints have a shiny finish while non glossy (Matte) prints have a duller, neutral look. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Most old photographs were printed on matte paper while modern ones are usually printed on glossy paper. If you are restoring very old black and white pictures, you should use a matte finish. For newer color pictures, a glossy paper is more appealing to the eye.
