Pretty Decent But Not My Style

I ordered a photograph as the design, and the 11" by 17" print came with a plastic protective cover in a nice cardboard tube. The print quality itself is good (it prints fine details!); however, this isn't as I expected though - the product seems closer to a "print-on-a-thick-matte-paper" rather than a "poster." Perhaps it is the small size I ordered or the assumption that the paper would be smoother and glossier that makes this lose the vibe of a poster. BUT, if you like a matte print of your chosen design on a decently thick paper with a scratchy surface, I'd say this is the right place to get one!
