What Is Envira Gallery Printing Addon?
Envira Gallery Printing Addon is developed by Envira Gallery and is a specialized gallery plugin extension for WordPress. It belongs to the gallery category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional photographers and visual artists.
The addon solves the frustration of users manually saving and then printing images by adding a native print button. It is designed for photographers, designers, and small businesses who need to provide a professional way for clients to output their work to paper.
Envira Gallery Printing Addon Features
The feature set is built around providing a non-intrusive yet accessible printing interface within your existing image galleries.
Integrated Print Icons
The Printing Addon places a clean printing icon on both your main gallery images and within the lightbox view. This ensures that regardless of how a visitor is browsing your work, the option to print is never more than a click away. It integrates into the responsive gallery layout without breaking the design or slowing down page loads.
Simplified Workflow
The plugin eliminates technical hurdles for visitors by triggering the browser’s native print dialog immediately upon selection. This makes it easy for visitors to order professional prints or simply keep a hard copy of a photo for reference. The setup is handled through the standard Envira interface, requiring no custom code or development.
Lightbox Compatibility
Beyond the standard grid view, the printing functionality extends into the high-resolution lightbox. When a user zooms into a photo or enters fullscreen mode, the print button remains visible. This feature is particularly useful for proofing galleries where clients need to see fine details before deciding to print a specific shot.
