>why
If I print something, it's likely to stay with me or who I gift it to for a while. It's something that someone can show their friends/relatives after they've gotten a new phone or laptop.
It's also not a disposable piece of paper like the trash that enters your door, a bill, a bank statement, a newspaper, a leaflet promoting a business or a takeaway menu. All that shit is not only a waste of paper but a waste of ink. It's something I won't ever have an attachment to.
A photo though? I'm more likely to give that at least 2-3 seconds of my time.

WOW it is the_current_year (no fucking shit), are we still doing a thing?!
People like to print; it's more permanent and displayable than just keeping it on an SD card or something, so if you have the money and it's a good photo that you really like, why not?
>>2802720
Because when I work late at the office I can print out as much as I like without anyone chewing my ass out.

Showing printed pictures is a lot nicer than doing it on your phone/tablet/smartwatch/whatever you millennials use these days.

Printing a few pictures also makes you appreciate your pictures a bit more.
I did cheap deal for two canvas prints and figured why not. Had it delivered to work and most people didn't believe I even took the photos. Felt pretty good.
>>2805067
I know that feel.
>lol which website is that from
So the people buying them can put them on their wall?
print is actually booming right now
im seeing a lot more indie magazines and diy zines
also this >>2805067
a good big print feels so much nicer than megapickels

Printed photos can't be swiped like on your smartphone, so it makes people look at them more than half a second.
