Matte vs. Glossy


For enlargements of colorful landscape and also of cityscapes, which is better true Fuji Crystal Archive matte paper or the Fuji Crystal glossy paper? They would be 10x15 and behind glass.

  Think would be more your client's preference. I'm assuming they both are using archieval ink to print and acid free paper. The main difference is how the papers differ from viewed from angles. The glossy will refelct more light and possibly distortions. The matt will not show as many imperfections, but many customers are used to the glossy look. You said both will be mounted behind glass; the type of glass also will affect how your image appears. Best bet, check with your client; in my humble opinion.
