What photo paper do you use?

Post by MutantMike »

I have used Kirkland glossy signature for 1 a year, love it but recently the silver/gold marker smears are upsetting me.


What kind of Matte do you buy, what is good?

Seems like some gold and silver pen markers or Sharpies smear no matter what.

That said, I get my photos printed at a one-hour place.

So you have seen silver/gold smear even on matte?


I see HP presentation matte paper for 12 bucks, 100 sheets. I might have to bite on that deal to try matte.

All of my photos I get printed at one-hour places are matte finish, as I want to avoid fingerprints on glossies.
