(available for Folded Holiday Cards, not 4"x8" Holiday Cards) Glossy finish paper has a high gloss coating applied to the paper surface that yields a smooth, shiny finish, vivid colors, vibrant images and excellent reproduction. This is the smoothest and most brilliant finish that we offer. Glossy finish paper is typically chosen for its polished texture, flashy appearance and superb color-contrast qualities. Glossy is best used on full color designs that have bright solid colors, photographs or bold patterns. Designs that contain prominent headlines, rich colors and tones, lots of imagery and minimal text are well-suited for a glossy finish. (Text heavy designs tend to be difficult to read on a glossy finish — we recommend a matte finish for them.) Glossy finish is applied to only the front side of the document. back to top When should I use Linen Paper? Linen-finish paper has a subtle embossed finish throughout the paper surface like finely woven cloth. The tooth of this paper will show through and actually become a part of the overall design. Linen is best used with designs that contain a lot of white space or with light, solid color designs. It enhances soft and simple designs such as florals, toiles, borders, and those that contain light pastel colors or where the background color has a subtle appearance. Linen also works better with designs that focus more on elegant typography than with the heavy use of imagery. A design printed on linen paper will appear less vibrant but will evoke a much warmer and more classic feel.
