Re: Signing prints

2006-10-06 by Christopher Brooks

Tom,

I use a black uniball "Deluxe Micro" pen to sign my prints.  I sign under
the bottom right, trying to leave about 1/4" from the print and the top of
my signature.  I title the print in the centre in quotes, and put the date
(year only) or edition number (for the few limited editions I decided to do)
on the left.  I sign everything, whether it's being shown on display or is a
8x10 print sold for pennies.

I don't use pencil, my prints are always glossy.  I should find out whether
this pen is even close to archival, I imagine not.

Chris
