Sometimes you might take or find the perfect photo only to be disappointed when you print it out on paper. Something about it loses its magic. Fear not! There are some tips you can follow to make your art and photo prints shine.
According to IBISWorld, the market for the online photo printing industry has increased by 1.5% annually in the United States from 2017 to 2022. But are all these folks printing photos getting the quality they deserve? Let's find out more about how to improve and get the best out of your images!
Use Better Material for Printing
One of the worst things you could do for your art prints is print your artwork out on regular printing paper. Regular copy paper wrinkles and buckles easily, especially if there's too much ink on it. However, heavier and sturdier paper eliminates these issues. When you're ordering an art print, it's important that the piece is printed on paper that reflects the quality of the art. Opt for fine art paper instead. This will help the artwork stand out more in its frame.
Use the Right Printing Services
If you're not able to get the right quality when you're printing your artwork or photos, there's a chance that you're just not using the right printing services. At-home printers don't have the same technology that professional printing services have. Each printer model is different and comes with its own selection of settings for different papers. Most home printers are not geared to make quality photo prints that will last.
What's more, the copy machines at your local shipping store or post office aren't always up to par with what you need either. The last thing you want is to pay money for prints that end up coming out with ink streaks or in different colors because the settings and ink weren't correct.
Luckily, you can get the high-quality prints you need of your art when you choose an art printing service that offers archival printing on fine art paper and traditional photo paper. Fine Line Supply Co. provides printing on both and offers print sizes between small 3x5 and large 42x96. We also offer custom sizes!
