Lustre is a lightly textured paper with a semi-gloss finish.
Semi-matte leans towards a matte finish, with no texture.
Photographic Prints are printed by exposing light sensitive paper to light, and putting the paper through a chemical process.
There is no ink involved in the process.
Prints can last up to 40 years in typical home (framed) display, over 100 years in dark storage, and 26 years if displayed unframed.
