The digital revolution has impacted on all those industries that manufacture physical products that can be digitized. So traditional photographic film is now replaced by a sensor in the digital camera, vinyl music albums are replaced by MP3 files, and in the place of bulky video tapes we now have DVDs and wmv or mpg files - to name just a few examples.

In the process of this revolution, entire skill sets have been wiped out and many jobs lost. This is particularly so in the printing industry where digitization has made redundant highly skilled artisans like typesetters and compositors, their jobs taken over by graphic designers using computers and desktop publishing software.

At the same time digital printing processes have brought a significant drop in the price of art and photographic reproductions, mainly because it’s now become cost-effective to print small quantities. You don’t have to produce thousands of the same product to bring down the cost per unit.

While prices have dropped, the quality of the prints has simultaneously improved because of improved print technology. Sophisticated inkjet printers using an array of colors - not just the traditional cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks - can produce vivid, pure colors and subtle tones previously only achievable with machinery costing hundreds of time more.

This means the average person now has access to a massive selection of fine art prints and posters, reproduced from originals by many of the world’s leading artists - all at affordable prices. By using some basic interior design principals, combined with tasteful selecting of frames and colors, virtually anyone can decorate a home or office to quite stunning effect without breaking the bank.

And, if you’re simply looking for eye-catching, colorful posters to decorate a dorm or pub, the possibilities are endless. If you’re a movie buff, you can choose old movie posters featuring timeless classics like Casablanca and Gone With The Wind, to modern cult movies and latest releases.

Al Pacino fans are spoilt for choice, with options that include a wide selection of Scarface posters graphically depicting Pacino’s memorable role as mobster Tony “Scarface” Montana.

For the sports fan, there is a similarly huge selection of outstanding sports prints and posters, many featuring defining moments in sporting history, while others acknowledge the sporting greats who’ve left an indelible impression on their fans, such as Michael Jordan posters and photographs of Muhammad Ali in action.

There has never been a better time to decorate your walls with fine art prints and posters, digitally printed on good quality papers using archival inks. Whatever your interest or passion, you’re bound to find something that appeals - and at a price that’ll leave a smile on your face.
