Is glossy or matte cheaper?
Cost implications—Consider your budget, especially for large print runs. Matte finishes can be more expensive but offer a sophisticated look, while glossy finishes might be more cost-effective for vibrant, eye-catching prints. Matte prints tend to hold up well against smudging and general wear, but be sure to keep prints out of direct sunlight, as it can make prints prone to fading. Glossy prints, with their coated surface, provide protection against fading because the ink sits more on top of the paper rather than being absorbed.
