Eberhard Faber Ebony soft pencil makes a fine signature on HPR. I think
signing a matte is dumb - the new owner can always re-matte and re-frame a print.
Signing on the back is fine, except when hung in an exhibition, the viewer
cannot unframe and un-matte the print to know the artist, date, title,
edition,etc. I don't like it. Traditionally, all prints: etchings, lithos, etc are
signed, dated and numbered on the paper just below the image. Whether darkroom wet
prints or inkjet prints...they are prints and should be signed as such. IMO.
