What to Consider When Printing Photos For Your Home

According to Statista, in 2021, 36.7 million art market transactions were recorded worldwide. Many homeowners are turning to their own digital photos to use as home decor. Art printing is an exciting way to create an interior that reflects your own personal style. If you're looking for the right art printing service to convert your digital photos into art for your home, consider the following points when you're printing photos for your home.

Theme

If you're planning a complete interior renovation for your home, it'll be easy to choose the photos that you want to be the center point of your home decor. When you already have your interior design set up the way you want it, you can use printed photos as accent pieces. The art and wall hangings that you select for your living room can help tie the room together and make it even more inviting.

Sizing

There are certain areas of a home where wall hangings are a natural fit. Rectangular pieces above your sofa or two complementary pieces on either side of your dining room door are just two spaces where it's common to hang art. Wherever you're planning to hang your new artwork, be sure that the piece fits the space. A landscape photograph that is oriented on a horizontal plane will look best in a long and narrow space. Take the time to consider how the piece and its shape will affect how it looks hanging on the wall.



Printing Options

The two most important factors to consider when printing photographs are the quality of the paper and the ink. If you want to print photographs and other artwork that's suitable for framing, it's important that you have the right equipment. Digital photographs and art images are always going to look best when they're printed by a professional art printing service. Upgraded printing paper that's suitable for photographs is a must-have. If you're going to print your images at home, be sure to use the right tools.

3 Ways Printing Affects Your Business

How does printing affect your art business? The global art market in 2021 was 65.1 billion US, according to Statista. If you are not getting your piece of the pie, it may be because you need to start using printing options to the fullest. Here is how high-quality printing can affect your art business.

1. High-Quality Prints Highlight Your Art

Print quality is important to how your art is perceived. High-quality prints can enhance your art. Low-quality prints can devalue your work. Whether a photographer or a digital artist, how your work prints is essential to how your work is received. High-quality prints tell your story more accurately and will increase your following. Prints are gaining in popularity even in the formal art world. People are becoming less interested in owning originals than they were even a decade ago. It is on trend to print your art.

2.Increases The Salability of Your Art

Prints are an easier alternative to getting your work out there. Prints can mass-produce your work. Prints are a more affordable medium for buyers, especially new buyers. Instead of selling original works to an elite few, you can spread your work to other markets with prints. Printing your work is an excellent way to accommodate a much larger audience interested in your work but not interested in paying original work price tags. It will endear your art to more people and make them interested in owning it.

3. It Can Still Be Personalized

Printing does not mean you can't personalize your art or that it needs to lose value. Simple solutions to ensure your work holds value include doing a limited series of prints, numbering each, and signing the prints. Limiting your prints will add value to your art by making it a scarce commodity, but not overprice it outside of lower economic markets. Some papers and canvas will allow embellishments like gold foil, painted highlights, and gelled brush strokes.

Art is meant to be shared and printing can make it easier to share your work. It can also help you to increase revenue. Don't shy away from the value that printing your artwork can bring to your art business. Give us a call to learn more about art printing and how it should be something you add to your business.
