I have mine printed professionally on Matte finish photo paper. {up} Printing on Glossy photo paper at home tends to result in smeared autographs.

DUE TO MY BUSY WORK SCHEDULE OUTSIDE OF AUTOGRAPH COLLECTING & INCREASING SPAMMING ISSUES I CAN NO LONGER GIVE OUT OR LOOK UP VIA VENUE OR EMAIL ADDRESSES. TOO MANY 'FANS' WITH THE WRONG COLLECTING MOTIVES ON HERE KEEP ABUSING THESE TYPES OF ADDRESSES AND END UP SELLING THE SIGNED ITEMS LATER ON FOR PROFIT {down}

I print on glossy all the time and have few problems. Use Kodak brand as it's much better quality(I use Premium). The only smudges I've had is from silver Sharpies when someone hasn't let it dry long enough before handling.

I print at home with glossy paper and have no smudging problems at all unless they use a silver sharpie then it rubs off but otherwise no problems at all and i personally dont like kodak paper at all its too thin i use HP photo paper or when its on sale i buy staples own brand of photo paper which is very good if you buy the premium one thats on thick paper stock. Just make sure the photo paper you buy is at least 72lb 10.5 mil and 270g/m I prefer 80lb 11.5 mil 300 g/m paper because its a nice heavy paper.
