Not sure which paper type to choose?

Metallic Luster: satin to semi-gloss finish; dark tones artfully balanced with color-rich, shimmering metallic highlights. Excellent choice for accentuating vibrant nebulae. particularly with a starless backdrop. Most popular option.

Smooth Pearl: satin finish; ultrafine pearlescence draws the eye in, adding an alluring tone across the composition. Stellar choice for rich starfields, galaxies, reflection nebulae, and deepscapes.

Bright Luster: satin-luster finish; pure white archival-grade base for a traditional, gallery-ready piece of art. Bright spaces and naturally-lit walls make great homes for this print, best suited for bright environments. Solid pick for every composition.

Metallic Gloss: high-gloss finish; colors shine, with excellent contrast against smooth dark tones. Great accent piece for any desk or bookshelf.
