What is luster photo paper and why is it the workhorse of print shops and photo labs around the world?
Luster paper and satin photo paper have long been the primary choice for photo printing due to their high durability and incredible print quality. Unlike the smoother surface of other resin coated photo paper, luster printer paper has a subtle texture that helps hide oily fingerprints and scuff marks. This enables a paper like Breathing Color’s Vibrance Luster to endure the rigors of a busy print shop without the need for lots of expensive reprints.
If you ever have a customer asking what is luster paper, you should know that there are dozens of brands out there but only one carries the support and recognition of Breathing Color’s Vibrance Luster.
