Print Photography 2024: What You Need to Know Right Now

Want your digital shots to look amazing on paper this year? You’re not alone. More people are turning their phone photos into wall‑ready prints, and the tools are easier than ever. Below are the steps that make printing a breeze, plus the trends that are shaping 2024.

Quick Ways to Print Directly From Your Phone

First, skip the messy software downloads. Open your gallery, pick the photo, and hit the share button. Most Android and iOS devices let you send the image straight to a printing app or a partner store. Apps like Printify, SnapPrint, and even the built‑in Google Photos print feature let you choose size, finish and paper type in a few taps.

If you prefer a local shop, simply email the picture to the store’s address. Many Mumbai studios, including ours, accept high‑resolution JPGs up to 25 MB and will have the print ready in under an hour. No need to mess with USB drives or SD cards.

2024 Trends You’ll See on Your Walls

One big trend this year is matte‑finish album‑style prints. They reduce glare, making photos look softer and more gallery‑like. Another is oversized “photo‑wall” pieces – think 24×36 inches – which are perfect for living rooms or cafés.

People are also mixing media. Adding a thin strip of acrylic or a canvas overlay creates depth without huge cost. If you love candid moments, choose a texture that matches the mood; a subtle linen finish works great for street‑style shots.

Color accuracy matters more than ever. Choose a lab that calibrates its printers monthly. In Mumbai, many labs use Epson SureColor or Canon imagePROGRAFX machines, which give you truer reds and blues.

Don’t forget to protect your prints. A quick spray of UV‑resistant coating can keep colors from fading under Mumbai’s bright sun. It’s cheap, easy, and adds a professional sheen.

Now you have the basics: capture, send, choose finish, protect. With these steps, your photos will look sharp, vibrant, and ready to impress.
