As expected, glossy paper is more aesthetically appealing than matte paper. Gloss products/objects have been linked to more favorable attitudes and higher purchase intentions. So why do people like gloss? In addition to positive feelings evoked by the attractiveness and beauty of gloss, gloss’ preference also is related to, an essential resource, fresh water.

Sad News from SunDance
It is with a broken heart we inform you of the passing of Mike Waldron on Tuesday, July 7th. The SunDance family grieves at the passing of a tremendous individual, valued colleague, and dear friend.
Mike has been a part of the SunDance family from nearly the beginning. Originally managing SunDance Publishing company, he had a small hiatus and then rejoined the SunDance family in October of 2014 as member of the Sales Team. Mike’s contributions to Sundance will never be forgotten. He was an amazing human who worked tirelessly to solve his customers problems. His quick wit, kind nature, big smile, and ability to make people laugh will certainly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time.
