Hi,
I'm new here and I've just written my first request letter to a celebrity.
There was something I started wondering about photographs you can send: If you download a good image on the Internet, what sort of paper should I print it out on? Normal sheets or photograph paper? (I was thinking that the latter might be nicer(?))

I prefer photo paper because it's nicer looking and unlike regular print paper it doesn't bend as much {thumb2}

Hi Sofia!
Big welcome to Fanmail.biz - I hope you enjoy it here! {clap}
I agree with Ejm1059 -
photo paper would definitly be better for autographs.

I once printed some pictures for via venue requests on normal paper, well, much thicker actually and kind of glossy but it wasn't nearly as good as photo paper would have been - as Ejm1059 said, it bends easily!

Luckily, the actor signed in pen and not in a sharpie otherwise it would've been a complete disaster!
Good luck Sofia with your requests!

If you want to print them at home the I agree with the other posters: use photo paper.
But I take them to a store and have them printed there. 4X6 are pretty cheap. But you do have to make sure they are good quality or they will not turn out well.
