How To Order Instagram Prints

The Instagram craze continues to grow from taking and sharing photos on the social media site, to taking advantage of the many businesses that have surfaced where you can order Instagram prints, to having items made with your photos printed on them. While there are many places to turn to when you decide for the first time to have your photos printed on paper or other materials, there are some things to consider before making the final decision.

• First, think about what you want to do with the prints once you have them. Although there are a lot of different places from which you can order Instagram prints that offer similar services, some have unique features. For instance, some companies print the small squares with uniquely designed matting that results in a larger photo with a big border. Others limit their print options to those small squares with an even border around each edge while others are eliminating the border altogether. Decide which way you prefer the photos to look to narrow down your choices.

• Think about where your prints will go. There are many options to choose from today such as putting the prints on canvas to create a true work of art or having them printed on magnets that you can stick on the refrigerator.

• If you have a home printer, you can cut costs if you like to do a lot of printing. You can print some of the photos yourself and leave the most important ones to the pros. One of the biggest problems with home printing Instagram shots is printing the square shapes. Inevitably, some of the photo gets cropped when there are only options to print 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 photos and not the square photos that Instagram takes. When you order Instagram prints from a company that specializes in this type of photo, they should be accurately sized and contain the entire shot.

• Some of the big box stores and chain drug stores offer Instagram printing using their iPad app. Many photographers like this option because they can order Instagram prints in a variety of formats and get them quickly at the nearby store. Some can even deliver your order in about 1 hour.

• If you want your prints to use as gifts, some companies not only give you the option to have large format prints made from your Instagram prints, they will deliver them to your friends or family for you. Nothing will mean more to your loved ones than a beautifully created candid shot of you and/or your family members on a personalized note card.

There are many options available for you to order Instagram prints on paper, magnets, books, stationery, postcards, posters, mugs, clothing and more. Once you create the perfect photo, getting it printed on something you or someone you care about will see every day will make it even more valuable. You can share your photos online but when you get real prints, you can share them over and over again.
