Thank you soo much!! I spent forever online tonight and your video had all the answers! Lustre is what I was looking to use and now I know the different names that can be called as well as when to use. You are awesome!! I liked and subscribed 🤗

Thanks for the video. I was confused in which category semi gloss paper belongs to and your explanation made it clear for me

Dave, this information you shared was very helpful because I really haven't thought about when to use the different papers. I always seem to chose glossy when I am having a photo printed. But now I have the information to make a better decision. Thanks for sharing this!

Helpful. Thank you. The options on the website I bought from were ‘Glossy’ and ‘Matte/Satin’, so I went with the latter. I'll see whether it's more matte or more satin when I get it I guess hahaha.

Good insight to what kind of paper to use for printing. Didn’t know about that middle man paper. Cheers for sharing.

That was quite helpful. When my old printer crashed, I bought a new one and figured I'd get one that does photos as well. Bought an Epson 970 and lots of glossy paper, threw a couple of prints in frames and seemed a bit too shiny, a glare looking at it on an angle, now I know I probably could have used a more appropriate paper. Thanks for the tips!

I observe old photos are tougher than printed photos now a days.

Thanks for explaining this. I'm buying paper for serious printing on my "new" Epson P600 for the first time now, and was wondering about the "best" paper for it. Now I see, that it's all about, what it's for. Luster/Semi-gloss and Matte for me, and I know exactly what to print on what. Thanks again.

Very helpful, thanks mate. I just ordered a print online, I was going to order "satin" as I know it but the only option was "lustre", so good to know it's exactly what I wanted anyway. 👍

Thank you so much, you are so underrated! Thank you for all the help mate!

[JinxyZombieHyperdrive]

Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks for this <3

[Lizofthes]

Thank you. Perfectly describes exactly what I wanted to know.

Great video mate. I can't say any more than you've already said...three basic choices with so many paper choices in the spectrum. I decided a couple of years ago never to print my photos, or offer it as a choice on glossy. Between reflective paper and high reflective glass I could never quite see the point. It's been all lustre or matte type papers and have had zero issues or complaints from clients. Great video as always mate and great information and presentation as always. Hope all is well and you guys are staying safe.
