Hey all,
I am ordering my prints to sell at an art festival from mpix. com I was wondering what type of paper I am going to want them printed on. The E-surface(matte finish) or Metallic (pearlescent finish)? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

It depends on the image. I wouldnt want close up portraits on metallic but I have some group shots with busy backgrounds that look great on metallic. Night photos with city lights look awesome on metallic. Did you get the free sample pack, it would probably help you make the decision.
