Digital BW, The Print

ha, coincidence.  i too started making prints with silver rag and was
wondering about a good pen to use.  so far i've only done about 20
prints matted to 10x8 frame size. i ordred from DOCUMOUNTS.com and
also use a tape called PH7-70 1" width. they are a pretty neat site
and easy to order from, though it can take about two weeks to get an
order.

glad to hear the 13x19 prints hold up well with tape and the SR. are
you t-hinging with two t-hinges or are you using more?

for the signing, can you use pencil? or is an ink the best way to go?
i was thinking of signing the back of the print and then use a pencil
to sign the over-mat.

ps - new here :) have learned a lot from everyone.
