Turning Clicks into Prints: A Resolution for the New Year

PRINTING AND BEYOND

Embrace the magic of print to narrate your visual tales this year

Dear Readers,

Happy New Year 2024 to you and your loved ones! As we step into the new year, I encourage you to embrace the timeless joy of printed photographs. Instead of just scrolling through your digital memories, consider unlocking the potential of your smartphone images by creating tangible photobooks, postcards, calendars, bookmarks, and more.

I appreciate your continued support in reading my articles and sharing the diverse photo prints you have made. For those without a home printer, now is an opportune time to consider this as a valuable investment. A printer, especially with refillable bulk ink tanks, can be a practical and cost-effective addition to your creative toolkit. An entry-level 4-colour A4 inkjet printer with a built-in scanner is an excellent choice, and if you find your needs growing, advanced models are also available.

As we bid farewell to 2023 (time truly does fly!), I am excited to share this month's article, highlighting some interesting photo print products I created last year. For want of space, I am just sharing a few. I hope this inspires you to embark on your printing journey with photographs you have captured. Numerous options await you, whether it is exploring online print platforms, visiting a copier outlet, colour lab, or photo studio, or seeking guidance from a professional photographer or graphic designer.

Wishing you a joyful new year once again and happy reading! Warm Regards, Vimal Parmar
