By: Thompson

We are experiencing more and more this tendency for people to hang on the walls of their rooms, offices, a number of prints. People prefer prints of something they know and they treasure on their walls than something unknown and certainly more expensive.

Printing technology improved a lot lately. Now, we can possess exquisite photographic prints. Different types or prints are available in local, national, international and online shops, depending on the image availability, limited or not. Each image is usually signed and numbered using ink on the print surface. Some images are sold as Open Editions, these being available in unlimited numbers and others, best selected images are Limited Edition quality prints available in limited numbers.

People normally prefer high-quality digital prints printed on premium, archival, photographic matte or glossy paper. The archival paper used under glass means that the print would last longer. It is said that on matte paper, the print's life is extended; prints are usually placed in a frame under a glass and hung, so no glossy paper is needed. Normally they should be placed in a location which is not directly exposed to the sunlight because this kind of light fades everything.

Prints are usually available unmounted – you can order just the bare print and you can take it to the local frame store, mounted and matted – in this case the print is mounted to the backing board and matted, all you have to do is add a frame and a glass. You can also buy them framed, this way the image is ready to hang on a wall or laminated to give it a more contemporary appearance.
