The ORCA 8 x 10 in Matte Tile is a ceramic sublimation tile sold 36 per case for wall hung portraits, where glare across a piece this size becomes obvious and matte solves it.
Print shops and custom gift businesses reach for the 8 x 10 matte tile when a portrait studio is selling wall pieces, because the practical rule is glossy for shelves and matte for walls. Cool each tile flat under weight to prevent bowing at this size. It does not come with a hanger, so add mounting strips or a frame; bare tiles do not sell as finished products.
