Fanmail.biz

So you can print them or buy them from the Net, right?

This may be a stupid question...but like SFM, is there a site that sends free photos without a PP signature? I was just curious. I mean if they advertised their company or something on the photo it could be possible. Don't mock me!

download the pictures from the net..there's a few sites that offer high quality pics you just have to find them. or send a picture from a magazine.

You can actually remove the "signature" off of studio fanmail photos very easily. Just rub it a little with non-acetone nail polish, and there you go, free picture! I've used that method a few times.

Really?? And it doesn't damage the picture at all?

No it doesn't damage it one bit! I've only done it on the regular ones that say "tamkin color" on the back corner. I haven't tried the ones that feel like actual photos and don't have "tamkin color" on the back, but I only have one of those anyway.

Hi orangelazarus

This will only actually work if the autograph is signed onto the photograph, or printed / stamped onto the photograph, as the acetone only disolves the ink.

With an actual pre-print, the signature is "photographed" onto the picture (so it is actually part of the picture). It can therefore not be removed by disolving it. Being as though all SFM pictures are photographic pre-prints, you cannot remove the auto with acetone!

If photos worked like that I think we would start disolving unwanted relatives from our wedding pics!!!!

All of my studio fan mail pictures have the autograph printed ON TOP of the photo, in fact I can scratch them right off. I only have 10 or so, but the ones I have are all printed on top of the photo.

Hi orangelazarus

Well, if that is the case with you I stand corrected!

All the ones I have seen have been photographic pre-prints, I don't know, but maybe that is because SFM sent to European destinations comes from Germany instead of the US?

I don't know, but I am surprised. If what you are saying is correct then the SFM autos you have got must be autopens and not pre-prints.

The term pre-print means just that. The autograph was put on before (pre) printing.

I would be curious to know if any other members have got similar "after printing" pre-prints?

Please let us know.

I have got many of the autopenned autographs which are "scratch-offable". I just haven't tried it though!

all the ones Ive received are printed on top of the photo too, like autopens, not preprints
