matte print

Dull-finish photo output

A matte print is a photograph or artwork printed on paper with a non-glossy, low-sheen finish.

Unlike glossy prints, matte surfaces minimize reflections and fingerprints, making them easier to view under various lighting conditions.

The texture gives images a softer, more subdued appearance, often preferred for black-and-white photography, fine art reproductions, and framed pieces where glass would create glare.
