Do you have a photo that is printed on photo paper that you could use as a test?





It could be the paper used for the printing or the ink in the printer.

I'm not sure but it sounds like the ink from your printer may be reacting to the glue and water (or decoupage medium).





If you printed them out on an inkjet printer, you could try sealing them first with a clear acrylic spray (lightly, a couple of coats drying between each). Then they'd be sealed enough to be protected from all the water in the decouapge medium.





Or you could print them out instead on a toner-based machine rather than an inkjet printer... in other words, on a photocopier or a laser printer. Toner is waterproof and permanent all by itself, whereas inkjet ink isn't.
