Ignoring the two-month closure for Covid, I'v noticed an appearance and uptick of what I can only lamely describe as ultra matte, majority black ink, prints on smooth, but semi-thick paper. Had a woman bring in a 36x36 print she bought off Instagram for $800 USD and it scuffed immediately as the customer and I were getting it out of the tube. It was an absolute nightmare to work with and I had no clue of what I was getting into while unrolling it. Thankfully we were able to hide most of the scuffs, but we had to work with nitrile gloves and the care of a surgeon during the whole process.
Fast forward to opening and we've already taken two more prints (smaller thankfully) that are the same horrid paper. Has there been some bass-ackwards advancement in printing that's made this stuff more commercially available? Anyone have any tips for working with it?
