You can use professional photo print services such as Kinko's, Walgreens, or some other stores your know to print it out on (prefer thin low) Glossy Photo Papers and Use the photo copies clear of writing on the front and back (you may get some letters on the back of the photo paper, don't use those photos)! Usually, let's say from the 4x6 inches photo paper you can get several clear ones. So, when you order from professional store, order more than one which will guarantee you get enough clear ones. It's still cheap. One 4x6 inches photo costs only about 20 cents.

You're DONE!
