Why use matte photo paper?
Matte Finish
Photo with matte finish is always smooth and non-glare on the surface. Lower- contrast but enhanced texture print. Fingerprints are not as visible. This style works very well especially for black and white photograph which produces classic look. In most cases, it is often used by professional and are capable of producing a high quality professional look. Matte finish is also a good choice for framing and suitable for portrait, wedding and baby photo. It comes with different grade and harder to be scratched. However, the texture on a matte finish can make the photo looks grainy and may produce a visible texture if scanned or converted to digital format.
This paper is great for just that. Ive printed some hdr black and white art shots on there and people I gave them to thought it was a professional printing place I did it at. So kudos for this paper.
