It is a terrible bet if they sign in metallic marker. Do what you want though. I just got back an auto I sent out a year and half ago on glossy paper. I had to spray it with hair spray because the metallic marker just wipes off. You can learn the easy way or you can learn the hard way!

I have them sign photos I have printed at Walgreens. Also, for me, it depends how big a fan I am of the person. For example, if I really like someone, I'll send an 8x10. :)

Ink jet is fine depending on what type of paper and printer quality you have. Do not send glossy pics. At some point you will regret it. As many of us have learned the hard way. If they sign in metallic maker the autograph does not stick. Use a semi-gloss paper.

Unless you have a lazer printer I wouldn't print them at home. Anything printed on a lazer printed won't fade but anything printed on an ink jet printer fades over time. If you have a lazer printer use a glossy photo paper. I don't have a lazer printer so I upload pictures to Snapfish.com and have them printed at Walgreens or have then shipped to my house. It's $2.99 per photo to have it shipped and it's $3.99 to have them picked up.

Hope this helps! :D
