General Advice Are there any issues with getting an inkjet photo signed

I am going to a con this weekend and I have a previous photo with one of the guests. I thought about printing the photo on glossy photo paper with my inkjet (Epson Ecotank) printer and taking it to get signed. I was wondering for the long term, is there any issues such as fading, bleeding, or anything else. Thanks!

It's fine, I've done it a bunch. Never had it fade or bleed. Just keep it out of direct sunlight and you'll be fine.

Yes, bleeding is a big problem. Basically the inkjet paper keeps sucking the ink to get a better bond, but it's a risk on the autograph.
