Lustre & Satin Photo Prints
The professional portrait favourite — subtle sheen, accurate skin tones, and fingerprint resistance.
Upload Lustre PrintQuick answer: Lustre (satin) photo prints offer a pearl-like sheen between glossy and matte. They resist fingerprints and glare while keeping skin tones natural — why most wedding albums use lustre paper.
Lustre — also called satin or pearl — is what many Indian wedding photographers recommend for albums and parent gifts. It avoids the mirror shine of glossy while looking more premium than flat matte. PrintPosters lustre prints use 270 GSM satin stock with optional 12-colour HD for mehendi oranges, maroon sarees, and fair skin highlights. Ideal sizes: 5×7, 8×10, and 12×18.
