Please help.What type of photo should I send for autographs?

Unread post by pyukkas »

I'm new to this world, sorry if this questions sounds dumb :oops:
Are glossy photos ok?
I am planning to download pictures and have CVS photo center print them out for me
But I am not sure if they are too glossy to be signed on
Any suggestions?

I use matte or low luster because glossy smears, collects fingerprints, and scratches very easy.

glossy is fine. If you put them in a protective wallet if you get them back it will stop them getting scratched or bent. They do get fingerprints easily and depending if your hands are sweaty and you dont wipe them off they can soak into the paper! only visible when pointed towards a light but id suggest wearing gloves of some sort. You can buy matte but there is pros and cons to it, it doesn't fingerprint easy and doesn't scratch as easily. Glossy looks better and matte can sometimes give a grainy finish and the colors are not as vivid.

Hope this helped! :) {up}
