Paper Terminology
|
| Here are a few terms you will need to know while searching for the right paper to help you produce photo lab quality prints right at home.
|
High Gloss
Delivers a "studio finish" with the most vivid colors, an outstanding contrast of light and dark, and high durability. With this finish you may experience glares in certain lighting situations and fingerprints similar to the glossy finish. High Gloss paper is frequently used by professionals and photography students. |
|
Glossy
Offers tremendous color range, resolution and durability. With this finish you may experience glares in certain lighting situations and fingerprints. The most practical uses for these Glossy prints are portfolios, photo albums and other displays behind plastic. |
|
Matte
This finish is designed to not show those pesky lighting reflections or fingerprints you often see on glossy prints. With less dynamic range
and contrast of colors than all of the other photo papers. Great for scrapbooking projects, bulletin boards, cards and invitations. |
|
Semi-Glossy
Offers a great compromise between a Matte and Glossy finish. Helps to reduce issues with glare, dust and fingerprints. Durability (paper weight/ thickness) typically falls right in the middle. Great for your everyday picture frames and ideal for those
with a matte border. |
|
| |
Brightness
Commonly ranked on a scale of 1-100, with 100 being the brightest option. The brighter and whiter your paper is the lighter your prints will be; a duller paper will produce more muted tones/darker images. |
|
Thickness/Weight
Refers to the durability of your paper and the amount of ink it is designed to hold without compromising the integrity of the document. Thinner/Lighter is ideal for quick prints, typography, rough drafts, etc. Thicker/Heavier is more commonly found in papers meant for photos, scrapbooking, crafts, etc. |
|
Rough
Superb for that gallery quality, high-end printing, this type of finish has very "canvas like" quality. |
|
Smooth
Ideal for printing projects that are heavy in typography, have definitive shapes, or have a high contrast of black and white. Designed to help your colors stay in place and to be less susceptible to spreading and mixing, also known as "bleeding," delivering a more crisp and vivid picture. |
