    What are their choices? Gloss prints tend to have more detail, the kind that you'd see in individual leaves on a tree that's far away. I'd usually go with that here, but Mpix offers Metallic which can be great in some cases. Personally I think Metallic is almost a special effect so it shouldn't be used too often, but once in awhile it's really great.

    For framing I like to use a coated (clay) mat paper. For prints which will be handled glossy paper only. But I do my own printing (up to 13 inch by 10 foot)
