Portfolio Printing: Make Your Colors Pop

Published on Jan 24 • 4 min read

For design students (NIFT, NID, Architecture), a portfolio is everything. A cheap print can ruin hours of color grading.

Glossy vs Matte: The Eternal Debate

Glossy Paper

Pros: Vibrant colors, high contrast, sharp details.
Best for: Photography, Fashion Lookbooks, Product Renderings.

Matte Paper

Pros: No glare, professional texture, fingerprint resistant.
Best for: Typography, Architecture Plans, Illustrations.

Paper Weight Matters

Never print a portfolio on standard 75 GSM paper. It feels flimsy. We recommend **130 GSM** or **170 GSM** art paper. It stands up straight when you flip the page and holds ink better.
