Labels - Glossy or Matte?

[jjwharris]

I'm considering putting an order in for (quite a few) bulk precut 85mm labels.

I've always used laser on glossy sticker paper for labels, but it crossed my mind that if I were to make blank labels available for sale with lathe cuts, printing/stamping/painting on glossy labels may become an issue.

Is there a preference amongst the community for glossy, matte or semi-gloss labels?

I do laser printing on matte paper myself, people seem to be happy with them

I make mine on glossy photo water resisting paper printing with ink-jet photo printer and they look great. I had a big order that wanted custom shaped labels so I bought a plotter and this brought the opportunity to test with whatever I have in the local shops. Curious to try with matte paper but with my 10-15 records per month it will take me some time before I finish the current stock

I sell 3.5" matte paper labels (6 to a page A4) at https://www.recordlatheparts.com/collections/record-supplies/products/printable-center-labels

I also have 4 to a page 4" labels that I need to put on the site soon/
