Let’s talk texture
You can see photos on a screen. But the texture of a linen cover?
The sheen of Premium Lustre paper? Those are details you have to feel. Before you print, explore cover and paper options and give your photo book the exact details you have in mind.
Look around
Blurb

Cover finishes

Your cover sets the tone for your book. Take a beat to consider which
suits your story best.

Glossy

Smooth and shiny, with a reflective
finish that makes colors feel
especially vibrant.

Matte

A lower-luster, yet smooth finish for a softer, more understated look.

Linen + dust jacket

A tactile woven cover paired with a full‍-‍color dust jacket for a classic, elevated finish.

Paper textures

Consider how pages feel between
your fingers and how light moves
across your images.

Standard

Lightweight with a semi-matte coating, offering less glare than gloss while maintaining a smooth, quality feel.

Mohawk Superfine Eggshell

Heavyweight and archival-quality with
an uncoated, subtly textured finish. Its ultrabright white surface helps colors shine.

Mohawk proPhoto Pearl

A luxurious, high-end paper with a
subtle sheen that makes images pop‍—‍and is designed to last for generations.

Premium Lustre

A semi-gloss finish that brings out
bright, vibrant colors with less glare
than a high-gloss paper.

Premium Matte

A smooth, non-glare finish that gives
text-heavy photo books and art books
a softer, more subdued look and feel.
