carych Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Personally I dislike the glossy it looks fake ..for lack of terms & in my opinion. go the matt route you wont be dispointed!! I also used to prefer matte but I've come to love the vibrancy of the colors on glossy. Good thing there are two choices so we can all have what we like!

lorac Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 This is a great thread. I went to Scrapbooks to Share and ordered their sample pack. I'm not a fan of glossy paper, so I thought that I would like to see a sample of their different papers. I always liked the matte look on photos. Thanks so much for the lead on printing outside of the home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Arell Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I decide on matte or glossy depending on the layout I do. Some layouts just look kind of fake on glossy but some that I have done look best on matte finish. When I buy the matte paper I always buy the best matte (and usually the more expensive one) and it really looks good. I think it is just a matter of taste. It seems as if the more elements I use, I tend to use the matte but if it is mostly a layout highlighting the photo I tend to use glossy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought to change based on the layout. I'll have to do some experimenting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
