DALLAS, TX – Photo books have become one of the biggest growth areas in digital printing in 2011. The proliferation of digital cameras, easy to use photo software, and the increased desire of people share with friends and family has contributed to this trend.

For a the tech savvy, craft conscious, and do-it-yourself aficionados, inkjet printers offer the perfect way to make custom photo books on demand. And for professional photographers, there has never been a greater need to market their skills and services through the printed portfolio.
