System and method for recommending and/or selecting media for printing a digital image

A non-transitory computer readable medium having thereon computer executable instructions for execution in a computing environment for recommending at least one substrate to be used in conjunction with a digital image to form a print product, the method comprising:

• a) providing a digital image;
• b) providing a list of available substrates stored in a memory;
• c) utilizing a processor, analyzing the digital image to identify image content and at least one image characteristic included in the digital image;
• d) automatically identifying at least one substrate from the list of available substrates utilizing the processor based on at least one of the identified image content or the identified at least one image characteristic;
• e) displaying the identified at least one substrate on a display;
• and
• f) allowing for the selection of the identified at least one substrate for fulfillment to produce a print product including the digital image disposed on the selected at least one substrate.

A computer system for recommending at least one substrate to be used in conjunction with a digital image to form a print product, the system comprising:

• a) a computer memory having a substrate recommender module and a list of available substrates stored therein;
• b) a processor configured for being used in conjunction with the substrate recommender module to:
• (ii) analyze a digital image to identify image content and at least one image characteristic included in the digital image;
• and
• (ii) automatically identify at least one substrate from the list of available substrates utilizing the processor based on at least one of the identified image content or the identified at least one image characteristic;
• and
• c) a user interface configured for displaying the identified at least one substrate and allowing for the selection of the identified at least one substrate for fulfillment to produce a print product including the digital image disposed on the selected at least one substrate.
