Digital BW, The Print

This is certainly an interesting discussion. My customers that are
doing their first exhibits will often ask me about this. I see
different things from my more experienced customers. Some like to sign
the front of the image and leave extra room in the mat so it can be
seen after being framed. Some hate the idea of the signature area
interfering with the image and want the mat opening to be tight around
the image. When you cant see the signature, some will also sign the
mat, and some will not. I do not see a problem with signing the mat,
however, I do always remind them that the mat is not a permanent part
of the artwork and that they should also sign the print. I encourage
the use of pencil where it will work.
