what would be the best method for signing final prints? when I use Lasal Matte I use a pencil to sign the work, but wonder what to use when signing papers with a pearl, semigloss, satin or glossy finish. Is there some kind of archival pen you can recommend that is medium gray in color to mimic pencil signatures?

Thank you

JJ, we are a big big fan of the Pigma series of pigment ink markers. Here is a link:

They are manufactured by Sakura out of Japan, and they make many different tip sizes and widths. A good starting place is to try their 1mm size, and if that is too large for you try the .7mm or .5mm.

I hope this helps!
