Question about photos

Unread post by Taxi_06 »

If you send a celeb a photo, do you print it off the internet or do you have to buy them off a website like allposters.com? Thanks. :D

You can do either Taxi_06, I tend to print mine but the only negative about this is the ink {down}

Hi, TheMailman, do you print it on glossy photo paper or regular?

I get all my HQ photos from around 20 press rooms and send them to my online photographic laboratory.

Within 2-3 days they send me the 8x10 and 8x12 inch glossy photos to my home address.

I pay around US $1.00 per 8x12 inch glossy photo and get a 10% discount since I'm sending them a lot of photos to develop.

The print-out method is far too expensive regarding the lack of quality and the ink prices.

Best,
Stephan

Photo paper which is alot better than print outs even though I ran out the other day and had to send Drew Barrymore print outs and because regular paper is thin, it becomes very damp and ruins the photo. So yeah, I reloaded my photopaper today and it is turning out great so I would start printing them as if you find the right photo on the net, it comes out perfect :wink:

Have a nice day
Peace

You have your A4 envelope then put the photo and then your letter with your SAE/SASE (optional) it doesn't have to be A4 as you may print/develop a small photo.

It all depends on size of photo and where you are sending it. I would say 2 or 3 US First Class stamps :|

So, if I were sending a 5x7 photo from Missouri to California would it take 1 or 2 stamps?
