What is Metallic Gloss paper?
Metallic Gloss paper is a unique inkjet paper that closely matches the look of photo lab metallic prints. Metallic Gloss paper features the same characteristics as a high gloss finish and a pearlescent base stock that yields a gorgeous iridescence in your images.
Images that have vibrant colors, reflections and especially black and white photographs look stunning printed on Metallic Gloss paper.
How to frame a metallic gloss print:
Due to the exceptional detail and color that Metallic Gloss paper yields, it is best to frame prints without glass. The glass can actually take away from the details and colors that the metallic finish provides by creating a glare.
One of the best things about a metallic gloss print is that it does very well in a well lit spot and even with direct lighting on it. The light helps all the details pop. If you are hanging the print where people may touch it and leave smudges and finger prints, it is best to choose Metallic Luster paper instead. The luster coating adds a layer of protection.
What to expect when ordering a Metallic Gloss Print?
Your Metallic Gloss print will be printed on a warm tone, low OBA Metallic Gloss photo paper.
You will receive your print rolled safely and carefully in a protective cardboard tube or stay flat mailer, depending on size.
All prints come with a 1/2” white border around the image to allow for handling and framing.
