You need to look at the places you are sending your resume to. Consider the age and experience of the people that will be looking at it.
My dad, and many of the older business owners in this state (Alaska, so don't worry yourself) don't want to look at a resume that isn't hand written.
Seriously.
We got a resume a few years back that made us laugh - the guy had actually printed a picture of himself smiling and waving, and had used it like a watermark for the backdrop of his resume.
Didn't hire him, but it's still one we remember!
