Cheap enhancement of printed photos

Step 4 Ending

Analyzing the back of the photos, you can see is lacking some paraffin. It should be uniform, do the work again for this points.

Now, the photos are almost water-proof!

Another way to preserve your photos is to use spray colorless varnish, in 3 or 4 layers. The problem is that the varnish is never really colorless, and the photos gets yellow.

I really like this idea! I, too, have printed pictures on regular paper - because photo paper IS expensive - and I've been disappointed with the results, BUT this sounds like it would really enhance the quality of the printed photos. Thank you for the Instructable!

Yes, this procedure enhance the prints, but you do'nt wait magic. You can also soak the paper in melted wax, and perhaps get better results, but this is more laborious.
