4 reasons why printed photos are better than digital display

In today's age of social media and constant connectivity, the digital space has become the most popular form of interaction for people, particularly millennials and younger generations. We've shifted so many aspects of our lives onto the internet, it's no surprise our memories have moved in the same direction.

Though the same can technically be said of digital display - they can be viewed on various social media platforms, on websites, as desktop backgrounds, and so on - they will always be viewable only on a screen.

Printed photos can be used to decorate bookshelves and windowsills, create personalised cards, produce holiday scrapbooks or serve as artwork around the home.
