Received both photos back: One signed and one unsigned.

Seems to match PSA examples. Comments welcome.

BTW, this is the second photo I received back where the silver marker wants to wipe off like its dry-erase. I had to clear-coat it to make sure it stays. Anyone else have this issue? I print my own photos and use HP glossy photo paper.

It's a conflict between the glossy photo paper, printer ink and silver marker. The printer ink fills in the pores of the photo paper, thus not allowing the ink from the marker to be able to soak in, which results in the silver ink simply 'floating' on top of the paper and not drying. which then smears when rubbed or touched.

does this happen if you print a photo on glossy paper in a store?? or just when you print it at home?

Thanks!!

How do you set up return postage if you are sending overseas? I went to my post office and he talked about an international reply coupon or something that are rarely used anymore and hardly any post offices even have them. So I just included 2 dollars in the envelope when I sent to her and two other overseas actors. Do you think this will work?

From what I've seen, no. This only happens when you print them off at home. Photo labs use special paper and higher quality inks which don't conflict with silver markers.

Thank you!! I was worried because I just put my first order for pics online. Before, I would just print small custom made index cards from my printer.

I see, If it gives you the option of having them printed in 'glossy' or 'matte' style finish, the Matte finish takes silver marker much better. I've gone with matte style for years. and it resists fingerprints and smudges as well.
