SHOPPING FOR FINE ART PRINTS IN 2023: WHAT TO EXPECT
Are you interested in purchasing fine art prints for your home or office? Shopping for artwork can be intimidating, especially when it comes to browsing and acquiring high-quality and unique works.
In 2023, print technology has evolved significantly from what it was just a few years ago - incredibly detailed images embedded into quality materials with longer lifespans. Quality and selection have improved drastically, offering new opportunities for inspiring spaces both at home and in the workplace.
In this blog, we are going to explore some of the exciting changes that await future fine art print customers and collectors like you - discussing where trends are headed as well as expert advice on how to shop successfully so that you find yourself surrounded by quality artwork all year round!
Technology will continue to play a big role in the art world, with even more prints being sold online
Technology has revolutionised the art world by taking it online. Online platforms now offer a wider selection of fine art prints that were previously not available, allowing buyers to discover new artists and sources.
Thanks to technology, artwork can easily be purchased on the internet, which has opened doors for those who may have felt out of touch with traditional art galleries. Technology has also allowed for faster printing time and higher quality results.
With more fine art prints being accessible than ever before, it is safe to assume that technology will continue playing a major role in the world of art for some time coming.
Technology has also allowed for the creation of online platforms that allow consumers to visualise exactly what an artwork would look like in their home. From placing art virtually in rooms to see if it matches furniture and colours scheme, to showing accurate perspective, depth and scale, this is a fantastic tool that provides online buyers with confidence.

More artists will sell their work directly to the public, cutting out the need for galleries
In a shift in the art industry, more and more artists are foregoes the traditional model of selling their work to galleries. Instead, they are taking advantage of digital technologies to sell their work directly to consumers.
This not only allows them to keep greater profits for themselves, but also gives buyers more assurance that what they're buying is authentic. Additionally, this direct-to-consumer model creates an entirely new avenue for artists who may have been unable to get commissioned by traditional galleries previously due to geography, financial constraints, or lack of visibility.
With this new system, talented yet undiscovered artists can access a global market and find success with their work.
The market for affordable art prints will continue to grow as people become more interested in collecting art
As more and more of us clamor to fill our walls with art, the market for affordable prints is likely going to experience a huge growth spurt.
With prices far below traditional gallery rates, art prints offer an easy way to get creative with our interior design. Not only do they look great on their own, but they can also be mixed and matched in all sorts of interesting ways – making the perfect centrepiece or conversation starter.
Whether you’re looking to have something fresh on your walls or just to start off a fine-looking collection, now's the time take advantage and pick up something nice in this growing market of classical and contemporary prints.
Photorealistic printing techniques will become more popular, giving prints an even more realistic appearance
With increasing advances in technology, photorealistic and high-quality prints are more achievable than ever. Goodbye pixelated posters, and welcome to the emergence of high- quality printing techniques, like giclee fine art prints.
The level of detail you can get from giclee prints is simply enthralling - a person could almost swear they were looking at a painting rather than looking through printed paper. With a significant amount of intricate work going in behind each piece, it's no wonder why this technology is quickly gaining in popularity among avid art collectors.
At Amichi Co, our fine art prints are printed from the latest Epson SureColor P20070 Wide Format Inkjet Printer, which is regarded as one of the best Inkjet printers in the commercial market. We use the Ilford GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl 310gsm paper. It is a partial gloss and a lower direct reflection of light to the viewer, which makes for less glare, shine, and makes the image easier to see the details of the print at all angles.
Prints made from recycled materials will become increasingly popular
Creativity and innovation have been closely intertwined since the dawn of time. Now, these two qualities are coming together in a totally new way with fine art prints made from recycled materials. Using both their imaginative vision and environmental sensibilities, artists are creating truly amazing works of art by reimagining discarded materials.
From image-rich paper crafted from old advertising posters, to postcards made with compostable milk cartons - we’re witnessing an exciting chapter of fine art history unfold! And it looks like this trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon...
As more and more people become aware of the importance of preserving our planet for future generations, the desire for sustainable products is growing every day – and who doesn’t love a good story to hang on their wall?
As we look towards 2023 and the changes that may come with it, one thing is certain — fine art prints will continue to be sought-after collectibles and investors.
By doing your due diligence now, you can ensure that you are well-prepared to make your next purchase of a fine art print in the near future.
Whether you’re an experienced collector or a novice looking to make their start in the field of fine art prints, a little bit of research goes a long way!
