You've picked your design, colors, fonts, wording and selected the perfect photo(s) for your birth announcement. Now the last decision to make is what kind of paper : matte or glossy finish.
This is a personal decision, but I will give you a few properties of each to help facilitate your decision.
Matte: Photos printed on matte paper have less glare in bright light and withstand much more touching. If you have a black and white photo, these tend to look better on a duller, matte finish. The drawback of this type of finish is the colors. They tend to not look as vibrant and crisp as a glossy finish.
Glossy: Photos printed on glossy paper have clearer colors and a much more vibrant look. And some people just like the shiny finish. The main drawback of these is that fingerprints tend to be more of a problem. And they also tend to have a lot of glare when viewing the images.
Both finishes make a great canvas for your photo birth announcements and it comes down to your own personal taste.
We offer both types of paper, and there is a section to enter your choice on the ordering page.
There is no wrong choice, only personal choice.
