Photo paper

[ricstew]

I want to have some prints done.......I have the samples from Nuulab. That metallic paper is special! I have only ever used plain old matte.....
I wondered what influenced you to choose a particular paper over another.......for a particular image.
I have my red car shot that I thought would look cool on the metallic....... ...but having never had a print like that am I correct? What makes one paper better for an image than another?
What about the pixie baby? How would she go on metallic?
cheers
