Professional Quality Digital Prints -
Color and Black & White
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: lustre is our 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.
What is the watermark? Lustre paper is watermarked on the back as follows:

"The creative power of God inspires awe. I'm filled with
reverent wonder as I contemplate it. To think that he spoke and
worlds came into being! In contrast to God, I work with raw
materials that he created. My creativity is derived from his. I
put the wrapping paper and ribbon on his packages. I praise you,
Lord, for your incredible imagination and creativity. I thank
you that I can, in a very small way, imitate it."
