Printing for Mail In Autograph Services

wflet · 03-05-2022, 01:31 PM

Guys,

Most of the Autograph Services out there, Galaxycon, OC Celebrity, Twin Cities will allow us to provide an image and their team will print out the image for the celebrity to sign. For those companies that do not provide that service and require us to provide the 8x10, 11x14, etc, what is the best way to "do it yourself"? I do not have a printer capable of doing this and wanted to ask you all. Do I need to somewhere like Walmart, Sam's, Costco to print? What type of print paper would I need to utilize? Would I need to use some sort of glossy print quality, or something else?

Thanks in advance for the advice.
Hopefully it is a moot point as i have asked the company about this and they will let me provide them an image, but just in case they don't..

often I use optimalprint for anything larger than 8x10 (I can do 8x10's myself)

they are quick and super cheap

I usually use Walgreen’s for 8x10’s. Every once in a while if you print out a few they’ll give you a coupon and it’s either free or something ridiculous like $1
