Dec 10, 2007 15:42 | #1 Hi guys...just wondering what the difference between these two printing styles is. I know gloss is shiny like normal photos and matt is dull. There are some oher finishes like semi gloss etc. :EOS 30D + 18-55 Kit Lens:

I always print matte because it doesn't stick to glass when it's frames and doesn't show fingerprints (unless they're very greasy). ~ Stefanie Pletscher

Glossy for me. I can understand. To some one that doesn't deal with photos on an average basis, glossy = expensive looking. My village called. I was told that they missed me.
