    signing prints

    in Business of Photography

    Posted · Edited by michaelseewald

    Pencils don't work on most papers, only use it to sign on mats. Sharpies fade fast, who needs/wants that!? (great for notes on the back of proofs, and since those are not usally out in the light, last for decades then).

    I have used Pilot Extra Fine Point 'paint markers'. Don't fade, dry fast, write on all papers I've tried. Used them for decades now, and inks still look good decades later too. I use the silver, neutral, but comes in gold too.

     

    PS, they do sometimes 'blob out', so practice on something before use to make sure it's coming out fine. I have lighter fluid handy in cast of smears, blobs, as it dries quickly and removes it quite well. Then sign again.
