Hi Megan, It depends on presentation... I sign both if possible. If  
the print is matted, I sign the front, on the print paper under the  
image, as others have described. The mat is slightly larger than the  
printed image, showing the paper and the signature, title, edition  
number if editioned. However, if I frame to the edge of image, with  
or without mat, I sign the back of the print. If I show gloss paper  
(rarely), I sign the back. Whichever method is used, I adhere a small  
certificate to the back of the frame or mat (if sold unframed) with  
the relevant information. If prints are paneled, mounted to aluminum,  
or other media, I sign the back of the mount. Signing directly on the  
image itself is reserved for mixed media approaches.
