what i do is use regular white envelopes and i print off the pics i want using regular comp paper i trifold them to fit in envelope its cheaper and only costs me 2 stamps. ppl may not liking to get their photos bent but i dont mind as long as their signed :)

[quote="BrianS1"]The weight of the paper has nothing to do with saving on stamps. If you use a 6x9 envelope, its three stamps. If you use a 8x10 its 4. The weight has nothing to do with it. If I put three photos printed on photo paper into an envelope I m gonna use the same amount of stamps as if I would have used regular paper.[/quote]

ya but the pics are smaller and you could fold them without damaging them. thats what i meant when saying you save postage.

i dont get them developed because of copyright.
also these are glossy 4 by 6's that come out really good.

they came out with white borders but i realized it was my printer so i'm hooking a new one upp.

the best thing to do is just print out your pictures off your computer you could use photo paper but you could even use regular paper. regular paper looks just as nice as photo paper if you take proper care of it. and its a lot cheaper because photo paper is quite expensive, and also its a lot lighter and smaller then photo paper so you save on postage.

I have tried to print out photos on blanks before and it is just not worth it in my opinion - it takes ages to print out after messing up for severel times, then the quality is not really good, the color fades easily. I would say just get your photos developed in a photos development center.
