Matte finishes are non-glossy or glossy finishes that give your book cover an elegant appearance. Depending on its style, you can utilize various methods for attaining this look.
Matte finishes are increasingly seen on printed materials like books and brochures, created using dulling agents applied directly onto paper or another substrate. While glossy finishes typically reduce glare more effectively, some prefer matte finishes because they reduce fingerprinting more efficiently.
Matte finishes are versatile paper finishes that fall somewhere between glossy and flat in terms of shine, making them suitable for book covers or printed materials requiring just the right amount of sparkle while helping reduce photo glare.
Matte finish paper offers reduced light reflection and is well suited for book covers and printed materials that aim to reduce glare while creating a more subdued aesthetic. In addition, matte can soften photographs for further softening effects.
Publishers and print publications increasingly select matte finishes as they offer an effortless reading experience with non-glare finishes that do not reflect light. Reading becomes simpler compared to glossy finishes while showing fewer fingerprints or smudges due to reflecting less light (an issue associated with glossy finishes). Matte finishes also reduce the risk of fingerprinting over time while reflecting less light, eliminating fingerprinting issues associated with glossy finishes.
Matte finish book covers are becoming increasingly popular for good reason. Their sleek yet modern appearance helps your book stand out on a shelf.
