Mar 14, 2013 12:29 | #1 I am printing a large team photo for my son's basketball team. The team is going to autograph the photo and give it to their coach at the end of the season. Any suggestions on best type of paper for this? I figure each player will sign it with a sharpie. Canon 5Dm3, Fuji X100T, Fuji X-T1, Fuji X70

Glossy paper tends to smudge with pen ink, and the back side is basically plastic, you can't get anything to stick to it. 5DmkII | 24-70 f/2.8L II | Pentax 645Z | 55/2.8 SDM | 120/4 Macro | 150/2.8 IF
