A matte surface scatters light instead of reflecting it, so long paragraphs stay comfortable to read under fluorescent office lighting or bright retail spotlights, and there is no hot spot bouncing off the page when someone holds it at an angle. Matte also reads as more restrained and editorial, which is why report covers, professional service materials and text-led menus tend to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the piece is built around photography and you want maximum color punch, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/glossy-paper-digital-sheets-12x18\"\u003eglossy paper sheets\u003c\/a\u003e use the same 100LB stock with a gloss surface and reproduce images with more depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting the most from these sheets\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet the file up at the full 12\" x 18\" sheet size, 300 DPI, CMYK, with 0.125\" bleed on any edge-to-edge color and 0.25\" of safe margin for anything that must not be cut.
