Autograph books-what is better quality, cardstock or photos?

[sher92]

I'm just wondering for those of you that have made an autograph book with photos, how was the quality when you printed it? On some sites, I've gotten a low resolution mesage and was worried that it wouldn't print good or would be blurry.

Last year, I did a 4x6 autograph book on cardstock and had it top spiral bound at Kinko's and it came out really well. Recently, I've seen some people on here have opted to go the photo route. Does anybody have any pics that they can post here so I can see an example with the photos? I'm worried that the sharpie will smudge with the photos, any advice here? Lastly, with the cardstock, there was a 1" border on the top and 1/2 inch on the sides, if I choose to do the photos, will there be a border at all when I have them printed. I'd like to have some space at the top of the image where I have them bound, so it's not bound directly on the image.

Thanks so much!

I have done them both. Photos was easier, I ordered them. Printing out all the pages took more time and cost more in ink and paper. THe photos were more vibrant than the printing on cardstock. I put them in a photoalbum in alphabetical order adn brought a small clipboard for characters to sign on. i just took out there page and gave them the clip board. There was no border around the picture. Heres russell w/ my clipboard.

The photos do look nicer, but be careful with the characters that stamp. They smudge easily.
