With photo paper, high glossy prints have a visible sheen to them. This shiny layer is applied to the high glossy inkjet photo paper before the print is even printed. This means the photo’s color and contrast can truly catch the light.

Glossy papers like Vibrance can be used for nearly any kind of photo print job.

High gloss inkjet photo paper typically offers a level of brilliance and luster not found in other photo papers. Their high gamut and high reflectiveness carry an element of energy to them. And their inherent shine ensures they catch the eye, no matter the viewing angle.

Truly, super glossy photo paper can be used in a variety of cases. If you want your photo print to seemingly come alive, the choice is an easy one. An ultra glossy photo paper is going to yield the best results when compared with satin or matte.

Super glossy photo paper, on the other hand, has a layer of gloss that sits between it and the ink to be applied. As always, we recommend checking our ICC Profile Page to ensure your printer can handle this unique photo paper.

Glossy photo paper carries a distinct shine to it. Some might call it super glossy photo paper or ultra glossy photo paper. But whatever the designation, the result is a shininess that catches the light when the paper is turned.
