8×12 luster paper proof prints and a framed portrait on a desk shelf

Luster Photo Paper · Print Only

8 × 12 inches

The pro's test print.

Before ordering a large metal or acrylic print, pros check color and crop on a small luster print. At 8×12 it's a 3:2 match for camera files, so you see the full frame exactly as it will print. It's also the easiest size to frame, gift or tuck into a portfolio.

Best photos

Anything you plan to print large later, plus portraits, pets and favorite everyday moments.

Best places

Desk and shelf frames, framed gallery grids, portfolio boxes and albums, mood boards, gifts and thank-you prints.

Placement tip

A 12×16 frame with an 8×12 mat opening is a common, easy-to-find fit.

A 16×24 framed luster paper travel landscape in a studio office

Luster Photo Paper · Print Only

16 × 24 inches

The portfolio and art fair print.

This is the size photographers carry to portfolio reviews and sell in sleeves at art fairs and markets. It's big enough to show real detail and small enough to store flat in a print bin. At home, it's an affordable way to put a serious print in a frame.

Best photos

Landscapes and travel work you sell as prints, street and documentary series, portfolio selects.

Best places

Art fair and market bins, portfolio presentations, framed above a nightstand or desk, studio and office walls.

Placement tip

Selling at a fair? Pair each print with a clear sleeve and a backing board so buyers can flip through safely.

A 24×36 framed luster paper cityscape above a console

Luster Photo Paper · Print Only

24 × 36 inches

Statement size at poster-frame prices.

24×36 is a standard poster-frame size, so ready-made frames are everywhere. That makes this the most affordable way to give a room a true focal print. Swap the photo whenever you like without buying a new frame.

Best photos

Bold landscapes, cityscapes, travel favorites, sports and action, family portraits.

Best places

Framed above a loveseat or console, dorms and rentals, studios and offices, retail and cafe walls.

Placement tip

For a room with windows, choose a frame with non-glare glazing. Luster already keeps reflections soft.

A 36×48 framed luster paper landscape in an open dining room

Luster Photo Paper · Print Only

36 × 48 inches

The biggest print for the budget.

This is the lowest-cost way to fill a feature wall or an event display with one photo. Pros mount it to foam board for events and shows, or hand it to a local framer for a permanent piece. 36×48 is a common frame size, so finishing it is straightforward.

Best photos

Strong landscapes, environmental portraits, event and wedding hero images, wildlife with a clear focal point.

Best places

Event easels and welcome displays, trade show booths, framed above a sofa, open dining rooms, reception areas.

Placement tip

For events, mount to foam board; for home, take it to a local framer for a permanent piece.

Before you order

Crop note: 36×48 is a 3:4 shape. A standard camera file loses about 11% of its long side, so preview the crop before ordering.
Upload note: 5400×7200 pixels is ideal; 3600×4800 is the minimum.

A little clarity

Before you pick a size.

Why only these four sizes?

They are the Luster Paper sizes that cover gallery grids through feature walls, with clear photographer guidance for each. Limiting the menu makes it easier to choose with confidence.

What happens when I click a size?

You open that size’s preconfigured product page. There you can upload your photo, confirm orientation, and add the print to cart.

How do I know which size is right for my photo?

Use Best photos, Best places, and the placement tip on each size card. Smaller sizes favor a single clear subject or a grid; larger sizes reward scenery and longer viewing distance.

Why choose Luster Paper?

Every paper preset is 250gsm Luster Photo Paper, sold as the print only. Luster is the surface pro labs and wedding and portrait photographers have long favored: rich color, a soft sheen, natural skin tones, and a finish that resists glare and fingerprints.

Can I still get another size or finish?

Yes. These pages highlight the most popular preconfigured options. Contact our print team if you need a different size, finish, or a custom recommendation.
