Photo Printing: Glossy vs Matte

[Serenity3333us]

Hi all,

I have literally hundreds to thousands of photos to print. I am preparing to put in a large order tomorrow so I have some pictures to get scrapping. Do you prefer glossy or matte finish for your pictures you scrapbook? Which one and why? Thanks for any help!!

If it is a good quality print, the colors pop more on glossy. If it's a photo that is going to be handled a bit, matte resists fingerprints better. It's personal preference, really, and I always get glossy.

I prefer glossy.

glossy shows better in scrapbook protective sheets... tried matte and the colours just seem to be dull on the pages... hth!!

I have tried both...I can definitely see more details on glossy prints!

Thank you for replying! I appreciate the feedback.

I prefer glossy under the protective sleeves of the album; shows better and seems like brighter color.

I have always gotten matte because of the fingerprint issues but since my daughter has begun ordering the photos to be developed, she orders glossy and I like them!

I've always gotten matte, because of the fingerprint issue. I never thought about the colors looking duller. I may have to try glossy next time! Thanks for the tip.
