Prints are largely categorized into two distinct groups called analog prints and digital prints. The analog print, or manual print, is one where the picture has been taken with an optical camera that makes use of a film. A digital print is one where the picture or photograph is taken from a digital camera and makes use of a memory stick to save the pictures. Analog prints need to be developed in a dark room and can be done by any developing and printing studio. The development process involves the use of chemicals, and, hence, it is advisable to not touch the print with bare hands. In order to safeguard the long life of a print, it should be framed.
Framed prints serve a dual purpose. First, they serve as protection, and, secondly, they enhance the aesthetics of a living or working space. Framed prints are used in homes to create an interesting mix in a room. A frame is usually made up of paper, wood, or metal and is available in many shapes, designs, colors, and patterns. There is a vast array of frames to choose from, and it is advisable to make use of a matching color when buying frames for the house. Traditionally framed prints were used only in homes, however they have been installed in many banks, hospitals, hotels, museums, restaurants, schools, and universities.
Framed prints are of two types: digital and analog prints. Analog prints can be framed in wood, metal, or paper. However, digital prints cannot be framed unless they are first printed. However, a technologically advanced solution is a flat screen monitor that is usually 7 inches long diagonally and works on electricity. The pictures stored on a computer act as a slideshow on the frame, and can be controlled either by a remote control or keys provided on the frame. The digital frames are an expensive buy compared to the normal print frames.
