Photos need to be printed

Bring your photos to life. There’s something special about seeing your photos in physical form, as prints. They allow you to fully appreciate the colours, contrast, and composition of your shots in a way that a screen simply cannot match.

It is a great way to share your work. Whether you’re giving prints as gifts or displaying them in a portfolio, prints allow you to share your photos with others in a meaningful way.

See your work in a new light. When you print your photos, you may notice details or flaws that you hadn’t previously seen on a screen. This can help you identify areas for improvement in your work and become a better photographer.

Prints are more durable than digital files. Digital files can be lost or corrupted, but prints are much more resilient. They can last for decades, if not longer, and can be passed down to future generations.

5. Printing your photos can be a rewarding experience. There’s something satisfying about the process of selecting your best shots, ordering prints, and receiving them in the mail. It’s a great way to celebrate your achievements and show pride in your work.

6. It can help you reconnect with your photos. It’s easy to forget about the photos we take, but when you print them, you’re more likely to look at them and appreciate them on a regular basis. This can help you rediscover your passion for photography and inspire you to take more photos.

7. Prints make it easier to edit your work. When you’re working with physical prints, it’s much easier to make comparisons and fine-tune your edits. This can help you create the best possible versions of your photos.

8. Create physical keepsakes. Whether it’s a photo album or a wall display, prints give you the opportunity to create physical mementos that you can enjoy for years to come.

9. You build a stronger connection with your audience. When you share your work in print form, you’re able to create a more immersive and personal experience for your audience.

10. Printing your photos can be a fun and creative outlet. There are so many options for printing, from traditional prints to canvas wraps to custom photo gifts. Printing your photos gives you the opportunity to experiment and get creative with how you showcase your work.

As a professional, I have used many various printers but the one I have found to give me the best quality, service and costs is the CANON PRO 1000.
