Digital BW, The Print

Hi James:

My top pick for pens for semi-gloss or glossy print signing are the Sakura Pigma Micron Pens.

I'd recommend checking out the set Of 3 Point Sizes — One each of 01 (0.25 mm), 03 (0.35 mm), and 05 (0.45 mm). Black ink. The thinnest black ones looks almost like the line that a fine pencil would make. They have brown and burgundy as options, which may suit the look you are after.

You can find them at many craft stores such as Michaels, or here for a very reasonable price:

Hope that helps,
