Question
How does gloss printing compare to matte or soft-touch finishes?
Answer
Each finish sets a different mood. Gloss maximizes shine and color, matte goes flat and understated, and soft-touch feels velvety in the hand.
| Finish | Look and feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss | Shiny, vivid color | Photo-heavy designs |
| Matte | Flat, non-reflective | Text-forward layouts |
| Soft-touch | Velvety, muted | Premium, minimalist branding |
