Question: Is a Matte or Glossy photo finish better for a large 24" by 36" picture of my dog that will be on the wall!?
I'm planning to order a 24" by 36" of a photo of my husky!. She's beautiful in it so I want it big and I'll be displaying it on the wall of the main living room in a glass frame with black borders!.

I just want to know if it would be better for it to have a glossy finish or a matte finish!?

also should I laminate it!? I think if I laminate it, it will keep it in better shape, but I don't really know anything about photos, so should I laminate it!?

And should I order it with borders or borderless!?

Thank you!.

P!.S!.- The photo I'm ordering is the picture for my avatar!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You would want to get it in Matte because in Glossy it would be to reflective of the light!.No don't laminate it or it would be the same as the Glossy one,too reflective of light!.Order it with borders and forget the foam core!.Looking at your avatar,it should come out real nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi Husky

Once you print it, give it a nice matt lamination !. It will preserve it and secondly, it doesn't give the shine as suggested!. It will have a nice soft feel to it and will provide protection over time!.
The finish will be dull but nice!. This is my field and do this all the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
