Why Fingerprints Ruin Glossy Shots

Glossy products are fingerprint magnets. The second a stylist or assistant touches a phone, a bottle, or a black plastic case, the prints show up under studio light and wreck the hero shot.

Retouchable removes prints, smudges, and oil marks from glossy surfaces without flattening the gloss. The mirror finish stays intact and the image ships clean.

5 Tips for Fingerprint-Free Shoots

Wear Cotton Gloves

A pair of cheap cotton gloves prevents 90% of fingerprints from ever landing on the product.

Keep Microfiber Handy

A clean microfiber wipe between every shot catches prints before they become a cleanup job.

Use Anti-Static Spray

A light anti-static spray reduces dust attraction on glossy plastic and glass.

Handle by the Base

Pick products up from the base or a taped area only. Define the safe zones before the shoot starts.

Shoot in Raking Light

Raking light exposes prints so you can clean them on set instead of in post.

Lose the Prints, Keep the Gloss

Upload a smudged glossy shot and see a clean, high-gloss version in seconds.
