Lustre prints combine a glossy and matte finish

You love the vibrant colours of glossy photo prints, but you also love how matte prints avoid excessive glare and smudging. Lustre photo prints offer the very best of both, with a very slight sheen that delivers outstanding colour but without much reflective glare. 

From happy family photos to magical wedding snaps, lustre prints bring your photos to life in fantastic detail, with a slightly textured feel that makes your photos feel more premium (and reduces any smudgy fingerprint marks!). 

Glossy and matte prints both have their benefits, but lustre prints are an all-in-one alternative that doesn’t hit the extremes of either. They offer a perfect balance between the subtlety of matte prints and the vibrancy of glossy prints, so lustre prints look fantastic no matter where you display them. 

Simply upload your favourite photos to get started, or explore our selection of other photo prints to find other ways to print your memories!

What is a lustre photo finish?

Lustre photos are a beautiful blend of glossy and matte finishes. The photos have a very slight sheen to them, so they offer vibrant colours similar to a glossy print, along with the smoother and subtler feel of a matte print.

Is a lustre finish the same as semi-gloss?

Lustre photo prints are sometimes referred to as semi-gloss, satin or pearl prints. All of these terms refer to the photo print finish that lies between matte and glossy, offering a soft sheen that enhances the vibrancy of your photos without adding too much reflective glare.

Which is better - lustre or glossy photo prints?

Lustre vs glossy photo prints – what should you choose? Glossy and lustre photo prints are both fantastic photo printing options, so your choice depends on the look, feel and finish you really want from your prints. 

Glossy photo prints are the most popular choice. These are our standard photo prints, and feature a smoother, sleeker and shinier finish that brings photos to life in stunning detail and vibrant colour. Lustre photo prints are slightly more subtle, offering similar details and colour to a full gloss print, but without any reflective glare or smudgy fingerprint marks. 

Whether you’re framing, scrapbooking or sharing your prints, there are advantages to both photo printing styles here. Glossy prints are usually better for photos that are packed with colour, thanks to the vibrancy of this print finish. On the other hand, lustre prints are ideal for soft, romantic photos like wedding pictures.

Lustre vs matte prints - which is better?

While matte photo prints offer their own unique charm, they don’t give the same level of vibrancy and elegance you can find with lustre photo prints. However, you may prefer matte prints if you want to avoid the risks of reflective glare and fingerprints completely. This may be useful if your photo prints are positioned with a very wide range of viewing angles.

What other photo prints do you offer?

Along with our lustre prints and bestselling glossy prints, we offer everything from quirky retro photo prints to super-cute small photo prints. You can print square photos, A4 photo prints, or even create a photo print gift pack for someone special!
