Does matte or glossy printing cost more?

For standard finishes, matte and glossy typically cost the same, so you can pick based on the look you want rather than the price.

• Matte: soft, low-glare, easy to write on.
• Glossy: shiny, high-contrast, makes colors pop.
• Specialty like spot UV: combines matte and gloss for contrast and may cost a bit more.

Unless you add a specialty coating, the finish you choose usually will not change your budget.
