Earlier this year, we released our first matte material, Grey V3, and today we’re excited to complete the matte lineup with [new Black and White Resins.](https://formlabs.com/store/us/form-2/buy-materials/) The new materials bring a smooth matte finish and improved accuracy to our remaining opaque resins. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/1/101574add9323446ad150a85095c88485cccd463.jpg) Many of you have noticed that the latest PreForm release includes settings for Black and White V3, but if you’re not on the latest version make sure to [grab it here!](https://formlabs.com/tools/preform/) ---

Are there plans to keep the glossy V2 resins? Sometimes it’s nice to have a shiny part without a bunch of polishing. ---

The newer materials do excel in print performance and feature resolution so we are phasing out earlier versions. A glossy clear coat might work well for parts that need a bit of shine. ---

Awesome! About to order more resin, and considering getting one of these. Are you releasing a new high temp resin in the near future? ---

Grey V3 still has the highest feature resolution of any of our Standard Resins but the new Matte Black and White Resins are close by. ---

We don’t publish our sample part models (read the rook’s origin story [here](https://formlabs.com/blog/new-sample-part-twisted-rook/)), but Make designed a similar rook which you can find [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:533652). ---
