"I have ordered from Nations Photo Lab before. This is my second time ordering prints from them and, once again, I am thrilled. The quality is excellent – even on photos taken on my phone in less than ideal conditions. I requested the color correction (just to play it safe) and everything looks great... Nations Photo Lab hit it out of the park!" – Rich R.

Glossy Print FAQs

What size Glossy Print should I get?

It all depends on your project! Check out our Perfect Print Size Guide for inspiration.

What Photo Prints work well for Wall Decor?

If you’d like to display your print on the wall, we offer multiple mounting options that will enable you to hang your print. Also, our smaller Square Prints are an excellent option to create a collage of your photos.


We also offer Canvas Prints, Framed Prints, Acrylic Prints, and Metal Prints if you’re interested in more Wall Decor options.

Can I order my Glossy Print with a frame?

You can convert your Photo Print to a Framed Print while in the Print Editor if it is one of these sizes: 8X10, 8X12, 12X12, 11X14, 16X20, 20X20, 20X24, 24X36.

Keep in mind: if you do so, your print will be a Lustre finish printed on Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper instead of Fujicolor Crystal Archive Super Type PDN. Same great quality and finish, just two different brands!

Which paper type should I order?

If you can’t decide between Lustre, Pearl, or Glossy, take a look at our blog “Which Paper Type Should You Choose For Your Photo Prints?”

Can I get large Glossy Prints?

<p>You sure can! Our <a href="https://www.nationsphotolab.com/products/print-enlargements">large prints</a> range from 16x20” to 30x45”.</p>

What's the difference between Glossy, Lustre, and Pearl paper finishes?

Glossy Prints are going to be the ones that really make your colors pop, as long as you don’t mind a little reflection! Black and white images also look fantastic in a Glossy. Lustre Prints have a hint of a sheen, but not as shiny as Pearl or Glossy, your colors will remain true to life without having the reflectiveness Pearl or Glossy might have. Pearl Prints are the perfect in between Lustre and Glossy. More of a shine than Lustre, with a pearlescent (almost metallic) shimmer, but not quite as reflective as Glossy.
