Matte or Gloss prints


I've heard it said that when printing photos gloss is best for people and matte is best for everything else. What do you think?

  I prefer my pics on matte, no matter what; besides the fact that when you handle your pics with your fingers, the glossy ones become sticky and you leave your fingerprints on them!...The ones in matte are better to handle (clean)!...

Also the matte looks more professional than glossy!...

  Depends on the shot and it depends on you. What do you like? Genereally speaking, glossy tends to look sharper and have more vibrant colors to my eye but matte has less glare problems.
