Give your prints the paper they deserve

How long have you been searching for an answer—and how simple has the final missing piece been, all along?

You planned the perfect trip. You researched the origin of her family and tracked down great-great grandpa’s town. You researched local foods, learned a little language: just enough to whet both of your appetites for the real thing. You made a list of the best attractions, the best places to feel yourselves in another world and the best places to come back to earth with a good, hearty meal.

You assembled the perfect camera bag. You were in and out of Mike’s for a few weeks, getting opinions and testing out gear until you were sure you’d have exactly what you would need to bottle the spirit of the incredible moments to come, without lugging around 50 pounds of gear.

Having returned triumphantly with the shots of a lifetime, you’ve combed aisles and aisles on a quest for the perfect frames, investigating everything from garage sales to high-end custom jobs. But something about the presentation just didn’t seem right, and with Christmas suddenly looming, you started to worry you wouldn’t crack the nut in time.

Then, bingo: an ordinary photo print just wouldn’t do for something like this, would it? Would a napkin be an appropriate substrate for a Wyeth? I mean, it probably could look great, but the appeal would be wholly different than that of a proper canvas.

You just picked up your giclée prints, and you know that the right paper was precisely the thing that was missing. Your incredible photos—you still can’t believe you actually took them—pop like you never dared to hope they could. You’re not a huge fan of the framing process, but with prints that look this good, it’s an honor to slowly, methodically, prepare them. The thought of her reaction is more than enough motivation!

You’re definitely going to remember the difference this made next time you have prints to make that mean something.
