Help A Beginner out?

Unread post by Xboxguy »

Hi, I'm new to the hobby of autograph collecting and I've heard everyone say that they print their pictures out from Google at a store like wallmart or wallgreens. I tried this and i printed out about 15 pictures I wanted to send out to get autographed and out of the 15 only about 3 came out good some came out ok and the rest are really blurry and you can see little squares on them (I don't know what that is). I was just wondering what I am doing wrong that my pictures are coming out in such bad quality. Any help?? Thanks.
Currently working on the voice cast from the Gears of War video games. Any help would be great.

Sounds like their coming out pixelated, you're probably using to low of a resolution photo. I always go for the High resolution ones so you don't get that problem. {up} What size did you print them at?

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}

When searching for photos to print on google, always choose the "large" option on the side. Usually the pictures come out better when they are bigger.
