Hi tylerrock,

If you choose to print pictures off yourself it usually comes out differently than if you were to get them professionally done at, lets say Wal-Mart. But that doesn't have anything to do with the paper itself. I have printed off pictures myself before on glossy photo paper, but they didn't turn out the best as it was a time where I didn't understand about High Quality photos and the pixel size a photo should be so it comes out good. Also, much has to do with the type of printer you have. Some will print nicer quality photos than others.
I personally would go with professionally done photos, this way you won't be disappointed with any ones you print off yourself. Plus, at most places you can get them done for quite cheap.

Hope that helps. {up}

I'd also recommend using a store like Wal-Mart to print the photos. I think they would last longer and be a better quality that you can print at home. You can get photo paper to use with your printer but you would want to have a nice printer.

I get photos printed at a store near me for really cheap. But be warned, some stores are picky about copyrights and WON'T print the photos. In all the time I have been printing at this certain store, I have only had one problem and I got that resolved.

Either way, the best photos are the ones with the most pixels in them so be sure to find large images.

Wal Mart is a good place, as well as some online places.

My printer, I find a picture about the size of a 4x6 picture. Then I print of photo paper (NON glossy) and I adjust my DELL print settings to "4x6 index card" and the photo paper is "HP photo paper" and the quality is "HQ"

But Wal Mart does a pretty good job though- so maybe just stick with that :)

I print my pictures off onto photo paper. I usually find an image from google then copy and paste it to a word document then I print it off. I think the pictures look good quality, obviously not as good as it would printing it off in a shop, but they look good. Although I am yet to have one of my pictures back signed!

Hi tylerrock08 :D ,

When I need to print a picture, I just print it on my home printer. I use Kodak Ultra Premium Photo Paper.
They come out,in my opinion, really good.

I printed these and got them signed:
