Matte - less chance of smears...

Jaffer, some online printing services offer the choice of matte, but gloss is normally the default choice pay to ask/ look for options. If you're printing yourself, shops like Staples etc usually offer reams of matte paper to order.

I'd go with matte too. I have not had a problem with people signing on matte photos but on glossy it sometimes gets messed up.

Always get my photos printed on matte for the very reason everyone stated... no smudging!

I prefer matte. Glossy photos gets finger prints all over them. I don't have that problem with matte photos. And I like the look of matte photos better.

I like soft gloss. I don't like the matte feel. Soft gloss doesn't smudge/fingerprint like regular gloss does. I found it in a kodak brand but I use an HP printer to print it all myself. :)
