For some there is no way a recorded still could be described as a photo without actually being printed. Others may be satisfied with the fact they have seen the image on their camera's monitor and large television set. The difference is the printer; an ultra compact photo printer, desktop color printer to a large format printer and of course the kind of photo paper it is printed on. The consumer has several printing solutions to choose from; like home printing or online printing. There are several manufacturers who offer a great printing solution, whether it is hardware like the compact photo printers or offering online print service like album printing, portfolio printing or regular postcard printing. The PMA will showcase a diverse range of print solutions and the PMA 2008 show report will inform you about the latest hardware, online and offline print solutions.
