I need to get a US passport for my daughter. I have downloaded the application form from the State Department's site, along with its instructions. The application must include two photographs, 2x2 inches, color or B&W, with certain other features. I'm sure I can produce the photos starting with my digital camera, but the instructions say that the photos must be "printed on thin paper" and "must be capable of withstanding a mounting temperature of 225" degrees Fahrenheit. The photos in my old passports are on glossy paper, but the instructions today aren't specific as to paper surface I'd probably print the photos in black and white just to be retro, and because that's the form that most of my other printing takes. (And to keep this semi-on-topic.) I have a variety of papers, glossy, pearl and matte, and can print on HP, Canon or Epson color printers or an Epson 860 with Lyson Small Gamut inks. (All of these would be dye inks, not pigments.) Anybody have any experience printing passport photos and suggestions for the sort of paper to use for this purpose? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Kip Babington
