Lustre, Matt or Gloss? Choosing Your Print Finish

Lustre — Our Default Recommendation

Lustre has a gentle sheen that produces vibrant colours and rich blacks. It works in both natural and artificial light, resists fingerprints, and suits almost every room. It is our most popular finish for good reason.

Matt

No sheen at all. Perfect for rooms with challenging light or many windows. Eliminates reflections entirely, with slightly less saturated colours than lustre.

Gloss

Maximum colour saturation and the deepest blacks. Can create reflections in mixed light — best used behind glass in a frame.

Fine Art

Textured warm-white paper with a painterly quality. Particularly suited to long-exposure seascapes. All finishes available in our print collection.
