printing Question

[lindsaynitz]

Do most of you just use your home printer for the transfers and autograph pages and such or do you take them someplace to have them printed with a higher quality of printer? If you take them someplace, where? Thanks

I print most things at home, but it is pretty expensive as it costs me around $50 just to replace the ink for my printer. I have tried to refill the ink at Walgreens but the color quality is not good so even though I could save $15 doing this...I'm too picky about the color quality.

Print shop companies like Staples and Kinkos are not supposed to print Disney images as they are trademarked and it is illegal to profit from their images. That said...depending on who is working that day and if they know the regulations or not you may or may not be able to have the images printed at a photo shop. For certain they will not print on transfer paper as their machines use heat to copy images and it will ruin the transfer paper.

What you can do and lots of people to with their autograph cards is print them at photo shops (like Walmart photo center, Walgreens, etc. or even online with shutterfly or other similar companies) which have no problem printing disney images. Most people have theirs printed 4x6 on matte paper and use a sharpie for autographs. The only problem you might have with these is the few characters (there are maybe 5 at WDW) that use stamps as they don't have hands to sign autographs. The stamps can run or smear on photo paper if you don't give them plenty of time to dry.
