We use ShutterFly, Snapfish, and other
3rd party businesses to print all photos. Photos will have a glossy-finish,
unless a matte-finish is preferred.
Glossy
Pros:
*
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.
Cons:
*
They are highly susceptible to fingerprints and smudges.
* To remove fingerprints and smudges, you need to use a photo cloth
and/or a liquid solution. Rubbing a photo, no matter how soft the
cloth is, can produce scratches.
* Glossy photos produce a glare, making them difficult to see from
certain angles.
Matte
Pros:
*
Fingerprints and smudges are not as visible.
* Since most professional prints are printed on matte-finish paper,
photos printed on matte paper can have a more professional look.
This is especially true with black and white photographs.
* Glare is significantly reduced with matte-finish prints.
Cons:
*
The texture of matte finish can make a photo look grainy.
* Colors are usually less vibrant on a matte finish.
* The texture of a matte-finish print may produce a pattern or visible
texture when the photo is scanned or converted to digital.
