I'm curious now.  I've always signed my inkjet prints the same way as the
silver or platinum prints, i.e., under the image area on the print with the
date, in pencil (I don't print with RC papers since I don't like them just
like I didn't like them in the darkroom), and then matted with a window
matte with a little more space in the signature area.  I look at a lot of
prints and have been in a lot of galleries and museums, and have bought a
fair number of prints - I've seen prints signed as above and en verso, but:
I've never seen a print signed on a mat.  What well-known photographers do
this?  Just asking.
