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 performing a method 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, allowing for the selection of at least one of a size of substrate to be used to form a print product or a display location for the print product;
• d) automatically identifying at least one substrate from the list of available substrates utilizing the processor based on at least one of the selected substrate size or the selected display location;
• 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 the 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:
• (i) allow for the selection of at least one of a size of substrate to be used to form a print product or a display location for the print product;
• and
• (ii) automatically identify at least one substrate from the list of available substrates based on at least one of the selected substrate size or the selected display location;
• and
• c) a user interface configured to:
• (i) display the identified at least one substrate;
• and
• (ii) allow for the selection of the identified at least one substrate for fulfillment to produce the print product including the digital image disposed on the selected at least one substrate.

A computer-implemented method programmed 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 substrate types stored in a memory;
• c) utilizing a processor, performing at least one of:
• i) analyzing the digital image to identify image content included in the digital image, and automatically identifying at least one type of substrate from the list of available substrate types based on the identified image content, or
• ii) analyzing the digital image to identify at least one image characteristic included in the digital image, and automatically identifying at least one type of substrate from the list of available substrate types based on the identified at least one image characteristic;
• and
• d) displaying the identified at least one type of substrate on a display.
