Wall Art Printing & Paper Guide - Helping you choose the perfect finish for your space
Sometimes, knowing how to print downloadable artwork can feel a little unclear. At Still and Found, we’ve put together a simple guide to help you get the best results — whether you’re printing at home or choosing a professional finish.

PAPER TYPES
Matte Paper
A smooth, non-reflective finish for a clean, modern look.
No glare in bright rooms
Soft appearance
Works beautifully with abstract styles
Colours can appear less bright, choose a coated matt paper for more colour vibrance and depth.
Glossy Paper
For bold, vibrant impact.
Enhances colour and contrast
Eye-catching finish
Slight reflective surface
Good surface for photographs and photographic style illustrations, semi-gloss makes a less reflective surface and is elegant and modern.
Fine Art Textured Paper
A premium, tactile finish with subtle texture.
Luxurious, gallery-quality feel
Adds depth and character
Long-lasting and fade-resistant
Best for a more artistic, elevated look and emphasises the brush strokes and textured detail of an illustration.
The Still & Found Approach
All the Still & Found artwork from our collection is created in high resolution (suitable for printing up to A3) to ensure your print looks sharp, clean, and professional.
For the best results, Still & Found recommend:
Canvas paper for a more artistic and elevated look, colours and detail of illustrations remain sharp
Fine art printing if you’re looking for a premium upgrade
Photo glossy or semi gloss paper if you’re printing photography
Semi-Gloss or coated paper for all illustrations works if you are looking for a less cost approach
We don’t recommend: Uncoated and matt paper as this will lose the quality and the detail of illustrations and artwork
Final Note
The way your artwork is printed can completely change how it feels in your space.
Whether you prefer soft and subtle or bold and vibrant, choosing the right paper makes all the difference.
