Why Professionally Printing Your Photos Matters

When it comes to having stunning photographic memories that last, explore what makes professional photo printing worth the investment!

Our world has seen a substantial shift over the years to relying heavily on technology to do everything for us. We spend hours scrolling through photos and videos on our phones, rely on computers to store all of our images and documents, and expect our tech devices to keep all of our content safe.

Having digital photos is great, but having printed photos is better.

Here's a look at why professional photo printing is worth the investment, as well as why you shouldn't wait to get your cherished memories printed. 

Experience High-Quality Vibrance and Sheen

These days, it's easier than ever to print photos. 

Sure, you could get your pictures printed at one of the 1-hour photo counters inside grocery stores or drugstores, but you're going to be compromising on quality. Quick, cheap printers can't give you the high-quality colouring or clear details that a true professional can.

When you get your photos printed by an expert printer, they're going to take the time to make sure your pictures look the best they possibly can. The colours will be vibrant and accurate, and the photo finish will have that professional sheen. 

Ensure Consistency

Oftentimes when you flip through the photos you got printed at a 1-hour print shop, you notice the pictures aren't centred, an area is cropped, or some other mistake has been made. 

Whether you're getting hundreds of photos printed or just a handful, you want your photographs to look consistent. Especially if you're printing multiples of the same one. No one wants their family portraits to come back to them off-centre or clipped!

Professional printers emphasize accuracy. They will double-check your photos to make sure the layout is perfect, the colours are consistent, and everything is where it should be. You'll know what you're getting every single time. 

Take Advantage of Archival Paper

When you have your photos professionally printed, they're often made on high-quality archival paper instead of the cheap photo paper that many other quick printing places offer. Archival paper is a special kind of paper that is designed to last for many years - even many decades - when it's properly cared for.

This means that if you get school photos or wedding portraits printed on professional archival photo paper, they're going to last for many years without fading or losing their vibrance.

Plus, who doesn't love touching the texture that professional photo paper offers? Its quality can be felt between your fingers, giving your photos better durability, a longer lifespan, and a higher value overall. 

Show the Details

We've all experienced the disappointment that is poor-quality photo prints. You get your pictures back, and people's faces are blurry or pixelated, giving the appearance that your photos weren't taken well (even though it's often the printer's fault too!).

Getting your pictures printed by a professional helps eliminate this worry. Professional printers have the best equipment, programs, and skills so your images come to you clear and blur-free. And this is still the case whether the photos are wallet-sized or blown up. 

With professional printing, you get to enjoy all the little details of your photos - like the frosting on a child's face or a happy tear sliding down a relative's cheek - that a cheap printer just can't show.  

Prevent Your Photos from Disappearing

Keeping all of your photos on a computer or other electronic device may be convenient, but it isn't always reliable. 

What happens if your computer crashes and you lose all of the images you have saved? Or what if you store all of your photos on a USB drive, but then you lose it? Or let's say you have hundreds of photos on your phone, but you drop your phone and it breaks?

There's nothing quite like the sadness of realizing that so many memories you captured are gone forever because you forgot to have them printed. While technology has a lot of advantages, physical prints of photos have advantages too.

One important one is not having to worry about tech malfunctions. Once your images are printed, they're there with you forever, and you can pull them out at any time to show or enjoy.

Give Them the Attention They Deserve

If you paid a lot of money to have a family photoshoot or to have a special moment captured, why would you keep them on a computer or flash drive where they're difficult to look at? Plus, if they're out of sight, you might forget you have them at all!

Photos that show all of your favourite moments and memories deserve to be on display for everyone to see. Not only can they help add personalization to a room, but surrounding yourself with images you love can even boost your mood and make you happier.

Get your photos professionally printed so they're the best quality they can be. Then hang them on the walls, place them in photo albums on the coffee table, and even bring them to work to display on your desk. You'd be surprised how often you'll find yourself sneaking a smile after looking at one of your printed photos and the people, places, and memories captured in them!

Bring People Together

It's common practice now to show someone a photo of something on a tech device. While it's easy and convenient to whip out your phone when someone asks to see a photo of your dog or pictures of your holiday party, the screen is small and not always brightly lit, making it difficult to see details or show multiple people at once. 

By getting your photos printed by a professional, you're giving people a physical memory to hold and pass around. Friends and family members can go through each image and talk about the memories it stirs up for them, creating a fun bonding experience unlike any other.
