The 17/10/2024

Format, custom framing, and finish: LabKorner provides art and photography enthusiasts with a professional gallery-quality printing service, offering the ability to customize every detail of your photo print. Whether you prefer a matte or glossy finish, discover which option best complements your interior and personal style.

Glossy Finish: Intensity and Lasting Shine

When Should You Choose a Glossy Finish?

The glossy finish with protective acrylic glass is ideal for photos with vibrant, saturated colors. Gloss acrylic glass highlights depth and contrast, making it an excellent choice for landscapes and architectural photography.

For a striking contemporary touch to your interior decor, consider a large-format photo print without any frame or add a shadow-gap frame to emphasize the floating effect of your photo print.

How to Enhance the Beauty of a Glossy Print?

To magnify a custom photo print with a glossy glass finish, display it in areas with soft, indirect lighting, such as your living room or dining area. Glossy museum glass enhances colors and deepens contrasts, creating a captivating sense of depth.

To fully enjoy your gallery-quality print, avoid placing it in strong direct light to prevent distracting reflections. Although our professional artworks are all protected by anti-UV coating, indirect or accent lighting is ideal for highlighting the vibrancy of the colors without risking damage. This durable finish is perfect for modern, naturally bright interiors.

Matte Finish: Timeless Elegance and Aesthetic Softness

When Should you Choose a Matte Finish

Matte glass is perfect for photos where subtle details, delicate textures, and soft colors take center stage. Portraits, black and white photos, or minimalist compositions that focus on emotion and structure are beautifully enhanced by this luxurious LabKorner finish

How to Highlight a Matte Photo Print?

Free from distracting reflections, a matte museum glass print is perfect for spaces with bright light, allowing the image to be appreciated from various angles. One advantage of a matte print is its unique ability to absorb light, resulting in a soft, natural appearance. This makes it an ideal choice for creating a cozy atmosphere in a library, a bedroom, or your home office space for instance.

Regardless of the chosen finish, selecting the right photo frame, with or without a ribbed passe-partout, will enhance the elegance of the photo without detracting from its subject. The final detail? A frame in the size that perfectly suits your photo print for a harmonious and long-lasting result.
