High Gloss

For decades photographers everywhere have known that the best way to accentuate all of the details and richness of a photograph is to print it with a glossy surface. Years ago, home darkroom enthusiasts would squeegee wet black-and-white prints on shiny, mirror-like sheets of metal and allow them to dry with a glossy finish. With the advent of home color printing—first, darkroom-based, and later, inkjet—the desire for a super-glossy surface on a print became even greater.

High gloss brings out all the color in a scene and gives prints that unmistakable, almost three-dimensional “pop.” A glossy finish gives depth and clarity to color and detail in a way no other surface can.
