ORDERING PHOTO PRINTS
My website is hosted through Smugmug - one of the best photo sharing sites around. SmugMug uses a professional lab renowned for color accuracy, print quality and consistency- so rest assured when ordering prints they will look spectacular. Prints are available in a wide variety of sizes and finishes (I prefer the Lustre finish) as well as photo gift options. Photos prints come with a 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee.
Glossy: printed on coated paper with a very smooth, shiny reflective surface. Glossy finishes have a high-contrast appearance and look slick to the touch when not under glass. This finish has an excellent dynamic range and color - slightly more "pop" than the matte paper, though less noticeable once framed. Photos will have a shiny finish, colors will be vibrant, and images will be crisp and sharp.
Matte:matte finishes have a very smooth, non-glare surface. Matte finishes have a lower-contrast when printed and are often used to enhance the texture of a print. Fingerprint and smudge resistant, and works very well with black and white photos. Much less glare than with glossy.
Lustre: My favorite - lustre is a premier paper offering, and is considered more of a professional-grade paper. Lustre has a slight gloss with a subtle, often pearl-like texture. Lustre paper has a deeper color-saturation than matte, has a higher contrast and is thicker than consumer paper.
Glossy and Matte prints will be printed on Kodak Edge paper and Kodak Lustre will be printed on Kodak Supra Endura paper.
