I have ordered matte prints my past two orders and they appear to be on lustre paper?

    Did you print with EZ Prints?

    Lustre prints from EZ Prints have printing on the back that says:

    Kodak Professional ENDURA Paper
    DO NOT COPY
    PROFESSIONAL IMAGES ARE
    COPYRIGHT PROTECTED

    Do your prints say that? I'm not sure if bayphoto uses the same paper with the same backprinting.

    Hi Dan, indeed, the order was for Matte. It'd say what Phyxius posted it would say, if it was Lustre. All good? ear.gif

    Dan: my question was asking, 'is it all good?' - they're lustre if they say what Christina said in her post, on the back of the prints. You've not confirmed that for us yet here :D

    Can you please confirm what the back of the print says?

    Don't worry, if indeed the lab printed Lustre, we'll get you a new print ASAP.

    OK I did not understand. Yes, they are all lustre.

    Thanks Andy:D

    On second look, they do not say what Christina said ("Endura Professional") They say Kodak, but the paper seems exactly like another print from Smugmug which IS lustre. It would seem to me that matte ought to have no shine, but these doheadscratch.gif

    OK = but 'they are all' ? This order has one print.

    I'm reording it for you, and would you like it to be 8x12 and not have to crop it? ear.gif

    Of course no charge. http://www.smugmug.com/prints/our-guarantee.mg

    My previous order was also for matte (two prints). That is why I said ALL.

    As I corrected in my previous message Andy, they do not say Endura so perhaps they are matte, but the finish is EXACTLY like my lustre print which I got from Smugmug, and I thought they should be flat with no sheen. Perhaps I am wrong.

    If they don't have this

    Kodak Professional ENDURA Paper
    DO NOT COPY

    then they are Matte - but I'm for sure willing to reorder you a print :D Just say the word, Dan deal.gif

    No, not necessary Andy :D, but just for the record there is no apparent difference in the surface of the lustre and the matte.

    Thanks for your attention thumb.gif

    Lustre is very much thicker, has the do not copyright on the back, too.

    Matte is the consumer grade, Kodak Edge paper- it's a bit thinner than Lustre. Similar, yes.
