I´m watching pics on eBay, but they are very expensive, someone add 15$ for shipping costs :shock:

Then I´m searching on Internet to print on a photo shop. What do you recommend, glossy or mate?

Hi!

I used to develope mate photos, but now I prefer glossy ones. For one thing they look nicer, for other I think that you can recognize a real autograph on them much better than on mate ones.

Enjoy,
Sammya ;-)

Glossy for me as well. A few years ago I only developed my photos in matt because of the fingerprints you see on glossies. But well - I was just a little girl (was before my "autographs-career ;-) ). Glossy photos look much more professional and nicer in any way (like the others already said). Would never ever go back to matts 8)

I prefer the Matte photos. Why? Because the ink from the marker is able to soak into the fibers of the photo. {thumb2}

Where as on a glossy photo, the ink just stays on top due to the the fibers being blocked by the glossy layer, This causes smearing when not given enough time to dry. :( Plus the ink can actually chip off or rub off on some glossy photos!! :shock:
