PhotoGlo™: A Premium Print Product Designed to Stand Out

PhotoGlo™ was created to offer something different—something that immediately feels more substantial, more refined, and more memorable.

At its core, PhotoGlo is about elevating the physical print product. It transforms a standard image into a dimensional piece that draws attention, enhances detail, and creates a lasting impression.

PhotoGlo is a premium embellished print product, printed on a soft touch paper surface, that combines traditional photo printing with advanced finishing techniques to add depth, texture, and visual contrast.

Instead of a flat surface, PhotoGlo selectively enhances parts of an image using:

• Raised color varnish to create a tactile, dimensional feel
• Metallic accents that reflect light and add visual interest
• Precision placement to highlight key details like an element, text or logos

The result is a product that doesn’t just display an image—it brings it to life.

PhotoGlo products are produced at our Candid Color Systems headquarters in Oklahoma City, where we combine high-quality print processes with specialized finishing techniques.

Each piece goes through a multi-step process:

1. High-resolution image printing to ensure color accuracy and detail
2. Targeted embellishment application, where varnish or metallic elements are applied only to specific areas of the image
3. Curing and finishing, creating a durable, raised effect that adds both visual and physical depth

The difference is immediate when you see it in person.

Light interacts with the surface. Certain elements catch your eye. Details that might go unnoticed in a standard print suddenly stand out.

This combination of texture, contrast, and selective emphasis creates a product that feels:

• More premium
• More intentional
• More display-worthy

It’s the kind of piece that clients don’t just store—they showcase.

While PhotoGlo can be used across a variety of photography types, it naturally aligns with important, high-value moments.

Events like graduations, awards ceremonies, galas, and formal celebrations carry emotional weight. They represent achievement, recognition, and once-in-a-lifetime milestones.

PhotoGlo complements those moments by:

• Enhancing key details like names, dates, and logos
• Matching the tone of more formal or upscale environments
• Providing a product that feels worthy of the occasion

It gives photographers a way to offer something beyond standard prints—without overcomplicating their workflow.

From a business perspective, PhotoGlo works because it visually communicates value.

Clients can immediately see—and feel—the difference. That makes it easier to position as:

• A premium upgrade
• A featured product
• A centerpiece item within a package

It’s not just another option on a price list. It’s a product that stands apart.

At Candid Color Systems, our goal is to help photographers not only deliver great images, but also maximize the value of those images.

PhotoGlo is one way to do that.

By combining high-quality printing with advanced finishing techniques, it allows you to offer a product that reflects the importance of the moment—and the quality of your work.
