Luster paper and satin photo paper have long been the primary choice for photo printing. This is largely thanks due to their high durability and incredible print quality. Unlike the smoother surface of other resin coated photo paper, luster printer paper has a subtle texture. Our premium photo paper helps hide oily fingerprints and scuff marks. This enables a paper like Breathing Color’s Vibrance Luster photo paper to truly last. It can endure the rigors of a busy print shop without the need for lots of expensive reprints.
