Re: How to sign a photograph + tangent

Sign the print on the back and the matt in 
front.  If anyone wants to remove the photograph from the matt, the 
signature is on the print itself.

  After viewing some AMAZING/HUMBLING/MAKE ME WISH I NEVER PICKED UP A 
  CAMERA prints from a handful of masters at the Andrew Smith Gallery in 
  Santa Fe, I can say (I've since regained the ability to speak and be seen in 
  public after the experience) that a number of these guys/gals signed the 
  mattes.  Perhaps the logic goes as follows: What's more important, 
  the print or your name on it?

  On an aside, as related to signing prints, has any celebrated 
  photographer ever burned their signature into a print (ie, made a stencil for 
  use with an enlarger)... i've seen plenty of digiprints with the like, always 
  thought it was kinda cheesy...but on a silver print could be a little more 
  organic (IMO)

    Hi 
    all,

    I want 
    to sign some photographs printed on glossy paper with a fuji frontier. I 
    prefer not to sign ob the matte, as it may be detached.

    Can 
    anybody tell what pen to use, and it is really a good practice to sign on 
    the glossy print.

    Thanks 
    for the answers,
    Veli
