Craftgrrl - Where Crafters Unite!

It had been about a year, maybe two, since I last made marble magnets. Previously, I had gone out of my way to use photoshop and size down the images I wanted to use and put them on a 4x6" image which I then printed at the local Walmart on photo paper. Well, I wanted to make magnets again, so I did the same thing last night. I happily hole punched my little picture circles just the way I wanted them, glued them to the magnets, and then stuck on my 'marble'. I'd done it before, it was simple, and I remembered how to get out the air bubbles easily enough.

I worked on about twenty of these before I started to look at the ones I had made earlier in the evening. For whatever reason, they were a blurred mess. I couldn't tell WHAT they were a picture of. I worried and fretted, thinking I had done something wrong. My bottle of E6000 was brand new, just opened that night. Had I done something horrificly, stupidly wrong?

Then it occured to me that I had a few circles cut out from the previous year's marble magnet efforts. I used the same glue, the same methods, and did not take my time or anything, just to see if my procedure produced the same results. It didn't. The old photo paper looked beautiful, and the picture was clear as day. It wasn't the glue. It wasn't the marbles. It was the paper.

So my question for you lovely ladies and gents is... where can I go to print out 4x6" photo paper from images on a cd that will NOT have the paper eaten up by my E6000? OR what else is there that I can do? I do not have a color printer (well, I do, but no ink and it won't print photo quality or all that well and ink is too expensive). I don't want to cut out magazine pages for magnets, because I want specific characters/images.

Details: Flat sided clear glass marbles that are not opalescent.
Carefully 'hole punched' photo paper images
Round magnets
E6000

Walmart apparently uses Kodak XTRALIFE Paper these days. So I know I need to avoid that. I just don't know where I can go to get something suitable. I was hoping to have these done for this weekend.

ETA: You guys are amazing. So we've basically figured out that the main problem was that I used their instant photo kiosk and got inkjet prints when I need chemically treated prints. I'm going to be trying Walgreens tonight, as soon as I can find a phone number for my local to make sure they use the chemical process for online orders. Thank you everyone!
