When to Use Matte Photo Paper by Royal Brites

Why Matte Photo Paper Is the Smart Choice for Your Projects

Matte photo paper is a heavyweight quality paper coated on both sides, which means it can be used as a multipurpose paper and is great for projects like making cards, matte photos and school or business presentations.

“Why would I choose this paper over standard inkjet paper?” you may ask.

1. Because of the print quality! Matte photo paper is coated with an inkjet photo coating that renders the colors in much more vibrant tones. The ink gets into the coating and the result bears no contest to the standard paper.
2. Matte photo paper offers premium quality, feels heavyweight, and delivers excellent results when printed on both sides.
3. Due to the special coating, water drops that may accidentally touch the printed paper do not affect the print.

One obvious characteristic of matte photo paper is that it is not as sensitive to fingerprints or liquid stains as glossy paper.  As a result, matte photo paper is an ideal choice for all-purpose cards such as business cards, 2UP invitations, panel cards, 4UP post cards, note cards, place cards, gift tags, mini cards and more.

Matte Photo Paper Makes Every Project Shine—Without the Gloss

There are many practical advantages to using photo paper with a matte finish. It may make a big difference in a presentation or a display that involves photos. From a distance, standard glossy photos may produce glare due to reflection from light sources.

Photo paper keeps your photos glare-free and still shows vibrant colors, unlike standard printer paper.

One of the best matte photo papers around is the Royal Brites 200GSM premium matte photo paper. It prints beautifully on both sides and works in both laser and inkjet printers to suit a variety of personal and professional uses.  Matte photos are instant-drying once they come out of the printer and they are resistant to ink smudges and fingerprints. Royal Brites Matte photo paper also comes in 12”x12” as Digital Scrapbooking Photo Paper.

This means you can print your scrapbook layouts, pictures, tags and everything on both sides of a 12”x12” matte photo paper sheet and just bind the sheets together to make a great album.

This special paper is strong and smooth. You can print pictures on both sides, and the colors look bright and happy. The pictures dry fast, so they don’t smear or get messy.

You can also make the same type of album using the 8.5”x11” matte photo paper in a landscape orientation. Remember those old albums with vellum separators between the sheets? You just need to be artsy enough to make a nice back and front cover to it. Matte photos look great in scrapbooks and photo albums. They hold glue better than glossy papers.
