The difference between photo album matte and velvet

The difference between glossy and suede of photographic paper is as follows:

1, glossy paper

High brightness and good reflectivity, but it is easy to get fingerprints and stick (such as plastic paper). In terms of clarity, it must be smooth and generally suitable for product photos, art photos and landscape photos. The smooth surface looks shiny, with high definition and slightly better image quality, but it is easy to stick fingerprints. Smooth surfaces need to be preserved with glue.

Smooth photos are suitable for expressing colorful and contrasting themes such as scenery and scenery, and the scenery is suitable for fluency. There is also a light selection surface, the border is smaller and the image is clearer.

Glossy paper has high brightness, good reflectivity, strong vividness, smooth surface and bright photos. But it is easy to get fingerprints, and it is also easy to stick to plastic paper and other debris. Generally suitable for product photos or artistic photos, the clarity must be smooth.

2. Velvet paper

The surface is rough, and there is no reflection, so the textured paper has a good texture, and the surface has the feeling of grinding sand, so it is not easy to get fingerprints, and the storage time is longer. But the transparency is low, not as bright as glossy paper, and professional photographers prefer suede. At the same time, due to the graininess on the surface of the masking paper, it is better to wash blurred photos and portrait photos with masking paper. Suede looks like velvet, slightly rough, poor quality, it is not easy to get fingerprints. Suede can be stored for a long time without glue (but pay attention to waterproof, moistureproof and anticorrosion).

Suede photos are soft, especially suitable for expressing characters. Portraits are suitable for suede.

If the smooth surface is brighter in general life (the smooth surface is stronger in terms of color and layering). ), put it in a photo frame with glass in front or choose suede for a long time without sticking to the glass. Choose suede with a large border and a slightly rough image.

Velvet paper (also called matt paper or matt paper) has a rough surface, so it has a good texture, dull surface and no reflection, and it is not easy to get fingerprints. But the transparency is low, not as bright as glossy paper, and professional photographers prefer suede.

At the same time, because of the graininess on the surface of the masking paper, it may be better to wash the relatively blurred photos with masking paper, which has a long shelf life and is generally used for ordinary life photos.

3. Silk paper

The surface of the silk surface is the effect of silk cloth, which is easier to preserve than suede, and can be well preserved without plastic packaging or cold mounting. The silk texture on the surface of silk paper presents the luster of silk under the light, which is gorgeous, delicate and three-dimensional
