Hey all.... just wondering if you guys send photos to these people that you want signed ..... do you just pull up a picture from a google or yahoo image search and print it off??? What kind of paper do you use or do you go somewhere to have it printed off that way the quality is much better

Thanks for any help

Brett

I search google images for a good picture then I print it with my printer. I have glossy photo paper I use.

I search nice photos via Google, put them on a CD and then I go to a shop and print my photos there. 8)

I see someone I like on this site as a success and I search around until I find a large photo. I then take it on cd to Walgreens or Walmart to print. If I have quite a few to print I try to do them at adorampix.com since they cost only $1.10 each. I NEVER send out inkjets. The sharpie doesnt write on them good and the ink can be scratched right off the photo. I also had some really nice looking inkjets I framed that started turning a pinkish tint from the sunlight I guess. They were only up for a bit over a year so Im pretty sure they dont hold up longterm like real photos.

I usually use fansites or celebrity photo sites like Celebscentral, Superiorpics, etc to find pictures. I only use Google Image Search as a last resort if those options fail me.

I usually print mine at Snapfish, since I often have credits and coupons there and mostly do small orders (2-5 photos). For larger orders, I use Adoramapix.

I use fansites or google images to find high quality files, then I put them on a memory stick and have them printed at my local print shop! Best quality out there :D

How does Adoramapix work exactly? I am looking to send out a good bit probably over 30 pictures .... what would I be expecting to pay? and do they just mail me my pictures I ask for??

Thanks

Adoramapix works like any other online printing shop - you upload your pictures, they print and ship them to you. You can get their prices here: http://www.adoramapix.com/PriceList.aspx

Is it really that much cheaper than going to Wal Mart and doing it? prices look pretty similar...
