Semi-Gloss Poster Style No Longer Available?

I have recently noticed that on the paper style selection of Posters, the semi-gloss style is no longer listed in the drop-down menu of paper styles to select from. Only matte styles are available. Is this a permanent thing? Matte style paper is fine for many graphic designs, but not so much for photographic images. We definitely need a paper style with a bit of gloss to it, please.

I agree. What happened to semi gloss? It's been a month since you wrote and no one is answering.

Hi all,

I reached out to our team here to see if we can find more information on this for you. I'll let you know if we receive an update.

Thank you for your patience!

It's been over 2 months since I inquired into this. Are we not getting back our option to order semi-gloss posters? Thanks!

I have never heard back from Zazzle concerning the Poster paper types and when other types will become available again. The item description states that one can choose up to "5 unique, high quality paper types." We have not had any other choice but the matte paper type for the past few years. My designs are primarily photographic nature and landscape, and a matte paper type is not the best fit for them. As a result, sales of my posters have fallen dramatically. We desperately need a semi-gloss paper style to choose from. If the matte type paper will be the only option going forward, then please edit the description to reflect this. Thank you.

Hi @northwestphotos sorry to see this was never addressed for you. We do still offer Semi gloss posters but they were just split up from the Matte selection. https://www.zazzle.com/custom/search/semi%20gloss%20poster. Thanks.

Thank you for your response, James! I know about those other glossy posters, but they aren't offered in the same, traditional sizes as the matte posters. They are only available in a few, limited sizes. It would be nice if Zazzle could offer them in the same traditional sizes as the matte posters. Sales would probably be much better if customers had more choice of sizes.
