I have got filament from two different vendors. I always get white PLA and print them with a constant configuration. I noticed one difference: The filament I got from the first vendor is less reflecting, or more dull-looking, both before and after being printed, while the filament I got from the second vendor is a tiny bit more transparent, and more reflecting, and looks more watery. I personally like the filament I got from the first vendor, in terms of appearance and performance. But it is like $20 more expensive than the second vendor(both are in 1kg spools)(26 vs. 46 shipping included). I want to know what's the real difference between these two kind of filament. May be the ingredients affects it's properties?

Is this the one that you bought and is a bit "watery"
