what do you print on...

I was wondering, Usually I print on glossy photo paper, but hubby accidently bought me some matte paper, I tried a few pages on it and figured i can give those pages to friends etc but then I thought it looked pretty neat. so what do you all print on to add a little more pop to your LOs??

I use HP Premium Plus Photo paper, glossy. Paired with HP photo ink and an HP printer the result is pretty fantastic.
(The paper is a bit pricey but I wait for the buy one get one free sales.)

I haven't tried matte. Since I put my layouts in albums with clear plastic liners I'm not sure the matte effect would show.

Good question....I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone else thinks.

My baking pizza album I printed on matte paper. I like to use it for mini albums that I make or clanders. I think it prints wonderfully and a cheaper option.

I've been with Linda so far - HP Premium Plus. I occasionally get HP Premium by mistake and don't like it as well and I haven't tried matte finish. But when I print them at the camera store - I do usually get the matte finish and it looks great!

Put in an album with sheet protectors- hard to tell the difference!

I think I have mentioned this to you on our FF thread Tiffany but I print them on our colour photocopier at school (don't tell the principal!!!) so they are just on normal paper.

I have always used glossy photo paper until recently. A scrapper I admire mentioned how much the pages looked more realistic on matte paper, and I tried it. I actually LOVE the results.

see this is what I was thinking, the paper looked just like paper !

I guess I could always mix it up as well eh!

This is actually what I was just going to say. I've printed on both and found that matte paper looks much more realistic. It's actually kind of funny because I bought a HUGE pack of matte paper totally by accident, but now I love it for printing my LOs. I save the glossy for printing photos :)
