[quote="*Tasha*"]Next week I am going to be sending VV to the PCD, Rihanna and Shayne Ward. My question is I have high quality images and have put them onto my memory card for me camera, I am going to rint them off onto my docking station/printer for my camera. However I feel that the shiny surface that is on the photos once I have printed will smudge when someone signs it. Is there a way to prevent this?[/quote]

Hi *Tasha* {up}

Good luck with your vv attempts! There is nothing to worry about though, once the photo is properly dry it will not smudge. Also the sharpie will not smudge on the photograph as long as the celeb allows it to dry before the re-envelope it back to you :wink:

In reality, sharpie dries in next to no time as it is spirit-based, and should be fine within seconds of signing.

Best of luck!

pictures printed on any paper can get messed up it it rains...

and if u print pictures from the computer with photo paper, the paper might get messed up if it rains or anything

Tasha- havent you gotten glossy pictures back before that were signed in sharpie? Most of them come back unsmudged.

[quote="BABii_ANG3L"]the best thing to do.. what i did was cut up the plastic bags into shapes of the envelope carefully and taped them to the sides so there won't be damage when sending[/quote]

Thats a good idea actually.
Though what I meant was that when the celebrity signs the picture in a sharpie, they will smudge it.

lols. i just thought of that because im sending fanmail to anne hathaway in canada and there's rain sometimes there so i don't want my photos to get messed up because my printer isn't laser and it stinks

oh okay, i never heard of doing that

no..wow.. i said the sides of the envelopes.

tape the plastic to the picture?

if thats what you mean, you shouldnt do that because it could damage the photo.
