Ich bevorzuge es ausgedruckt. Mag altmodisch klingen, aber ich hab es einfach gern, die Dinge "real" in Händen halten, bei Bedarf bequem aus dem Regal holen, reinschauen, rumzeigen, sprich, anfassen zu können. In unserer ohnehin schon so totdigitalisierten Welt ist es auch mal schön, den PC/Laptop einfach mal ausgeschaltet lassen zu können.

Bei den CDs mit High-Res-Bildern kommt zudem noch, dass du schlichtweg nicht weißt, was der Verbraucher letztlich damit anstellt.

I would prefer print portfolios to a CD release, but then I rarely buy prints at all. A CD, though shiny, just doesn't look as good when I tack it to my wall...

And you have a better idea of how to make good looking printouts, because you do it more often than me.

I am not the best person to advise on print portfolios, though. I don't really like prints.

When I buy artwork, I generally stick to traditional media, so I can hang an original piece of art on my wall. Prints - even limited prints - just don't feel the same to me.

In recent years that has tended to exclude many of your pieces from my consideration in art shows, but that is just how I feel.

Speaking personally, I prefer print portfolios to the CD type. For one thing, it is easier to view or to show to friends, or to put the individual prints into binders for display (or - for particularly appealing images - mounting and framing).

With a CD, I would have to consider that an "intermediate step", and have to find a color printer somewhere to turn images into prints, which I can display without the need of an electronic device.

The CD, on the other hand, would be a great way to archive really large numbers of images - and I think most people, when offered a CD, will automatically conclude that it has something like 60 images (or more) on it. Most art portfolios sold at Furry Cons are usually specific to a theme or story, and most are collections of between 8 and a dozen or so images ( ... )
