It’s essential for both resellers and print providers to be aware of upcoming trends in photo and fine art printing to make sound business decisions, take advantage of new market opportunities, and stay ahead in the world of fine art reproductions.

Trends for 2024:
1.    Large-scale Prints
Designers are embracing the grandiose in interiors and are looking to make bold statements that demand attention. KODAK PROFESSIONAL Fine Art and Photo Paper is designed to print the highest-quality reproductions with sharp details and vibrant colors at any size.
2.    Gallery Walls and Splits
Small prints of varying sizes and shapes hung together to create a “gallery wall” can tell a story and make a space feel unique. Splits that involve printing a single image across multiple panels are also popular and perfect for panoramic landscape photos made possible with smartphones.
3.    New Substrates
Advances in digital printing have made it possible to print on various materials like metal, fabric, or acrylic. These substrates offer a modern look and are a unique departure from paper or canvas. KODAK PROFESSIONAL Sublimation, Metallic Gloss Film is a heavy, rigid film similar to a Cibachrome-style substrate.
4.    AI-enhanced Photos 
This cutting-edge technology uses artificial intelligence to create realistic photograph-like images.
