I print my photos on photo paper that I got on sale at Staples. You could try the store Staples, but I don't know if Australia has Staples, as I live in the US... anyway, good luck finding some good paper! :)

I have another question (sorry if I´m going a bit out of topic, but I didn´t want to make new thread just for this..) And I guess I´ll sound like idiot :roll: , but I´ll ask anyway :mrgreen:

I have some really high quality photos (more than 2000 pixels, professional), and I´d like to have them professionally printed before I send them.. But - the trouble is that most of the background, hair and dress of the star are black.

It´s something, but not exactly, like this: Image

So there is no space where to put the signature... I know that celebrities don´t use silver pens that often, and especially not Tia..

I once sent "dark" picture to one Slovak actor and got the autograph on the backside of the picture!!! (Not that I´d complain, but it´s better on the front, right? ;-) ). Do you think I should try anyway or rather pick some other pictures with more white space (which are also harder to find and not the ones I´d prefer)...?
Some photos you can make greyscale and then lighten them. That works.

And to stay on topic. Yes, I print photos from the internet. I doubt it will reduce your chance of getting a reply, considering you are actually sending them something to sign. Of course, if the person loves the picture he/she may want to keep it :D

Well I normally get the brand HP Advanced gloss for around $20 and you get 50 A4 sheets, so that means for me about 2 per sheet for autographs :)


Here's a link to the OfficeWorks site though, they got photo paper for MUCH cheaper. And you can seach their site for cheaper or more expensive brands. just type in the search bar "photo paper". You can buy most of their paper thats on the site in the stores too which I much recomend more. If your having trouble knowing which to choose go to the store and ask there :) :

Sai, how much do you buy them for?

I print photos off the internet all the time and get sucess :) And It's worth getting glossy. Maybe go to an 'Office Works' and see if they have some on sale or something. Or some photo/photography shops sell them :)
Even if you buy a small packet with not much in it and just do a few prints its worth it :)
