A pearl finish sometimes referred to as luster is a good balance of both matte and semi shine.
A photo paper with a 3d effect brings out the light in the image with a slight shimmer extremely durable pearl surface resistant to tearing and curling sharp details beautifully saturated colors rich blacks for better contrast and is best framed without glass.
The result is an amazing improvement in depth and clarity over our standard paper.

Kodak pearlized vs laminate photos.
Generally a semi gloss or matte finish is more subtle looks sharper and makes colors appear deeper and brighter.

I m ordering photos and i would like to have photos that can last for a long time and can withstand moisture and fingerprints i know laminating my photos will do that but i m told pearlized photos give top quality to the image but does it give quality protection like lamination.
Glossy paper is also kind of sticky and can get stuck on glass frames and ruin the photo during removal.
Unlike professional matte paper our pearlized prints feature a smooth brilliant finish which helps to enhance the color and detail of your photographs.
One mil is equal to 001 or 1 1000ths of an inch.
