Mpix papers - pearlescent vs matte finish - the difference?

[BigBen08]

Mpix offers two types of papers...Metallic (pearlescent finish) paper, and E-surface (matte finish) paper.

A few months ago I ordered prints from Mpix, but I don't remember the type of paper I selected. But on the back of the prints reads Kodak Endura. And the prints are not glossy smooth, but have sort of a textured surface - like thousands of tiny bumps (sorry for the non-technical description).

I want to order more prints using the same paper, but I'm not sure which paper I selected on the first order. I tried to find my purchase history, but it's not there. Based on my description, do you know which paper I'm refering to?

From your description it sounds like e surface paper, which is mpix's less expensive paper.

your account history wil tell what paper u used. Why can't u find it?
