"Why should I set so fine a gloss on things?"
- Robert Browning
When your images call for that extra punch of color vibrancy and pop, glossy papers are ready for your printing job. Glossy papers have little to no surface texture and high reflectance. More light returning directly to your eyes causes you to notice bold and bright colors. That is where gloss papers really "shine".

Photo Feel Glossy Papers

These papers look and feel like glossy media used by traditional photo labs. The print side is smooth with a high gloss coating. The back is resin (plastic) coated. You cannot write on the back of this type of media.
