The importance of prints (Part 1)

In this digital age that we live in, it’s even more important than in the past to print the images that we take. This is simply because we just aren’t doing so as a society. They are saved on our phones, backed up to the cloud, posted on social media... but more often than not they can sometimes just end up lost forever. If you want to preserve something, you have to print it!

Your memories shouldn’t have to die when your phone does. Online storage is NOT as safe as its made out to be. Technology is constantly changing. A USB may end up like a floppy disk, Apple already stopped making CD drives. Who really knows if we will have access to all of these stored digital images years from now.

When your grandchildren or great grandchildren go searching for photos, what will they find? A broken USB, a link to an expired online gallery? Or beautiful prints and products that they can hold in their hands and admire? Just remember in years to come when we celebrate the people we love, you can’t frame a thumb drive.

Top 5 reasons to PRINT

  1. While going through your images on a screen can still be fun its nothing like actually holding those prints in your hands. Images when printed invoke so much more emotion and makes your memories that bit more tangible.

  2. There is absolutely no guarantee that the technologies of tomorrow will be able to read the photos we take/store digitally today. Your children and their children will thank you for printing.

  3. Printed photos on display in your home help boost your child’s sense of identity and makes them feel more valued. Seeing them every day are great reminders, where as what do you think they think about when they walk past a USB drive?

  4. Phones can be lost, laptops can be broken, online storage websites can go out of business, USB’s malfunction and gallery links don’t last forever. If you want to preserve it, print it.

    5. The quality of prints has came a long long way. It is now easier than ever before to order online, create albums, order prints and wonderful products to cherish forever. I order all of my prints and products from a dedicated photographic lab for professional photographers to ensure you receive long lasting quality items from me.
