What is the difference between the 3 finishes EZ Prints supplies?
Glossy photos are printed on coated paper with a very smooth, shiny reflective surface. Glossy finishes have a high-contrast appearance and look slick to the touch when not under glass. This finish has an excellent dynamic range and color – slightly more “pop” than the matte paper, though less noticeable once framed. • Photos will have a shiny finish. • Colors are vibrant. • Images are crisp and sharp (assuming the original photo was in focus). • Glossy finish does not produce a textured look when scanned and converted to digital.

Matte finishes have a lower-contrast when printed and are often used to enhance the texture of a print. • Fingerprints and smudges are not as visible. • Works very well with black and white photographs. • Glare is significantly reduced with matte-finish prints.
