Simple question. Do you sign your prints before you sell them like pieces of art, landscapes, flowers, cityscapes etc. If you do, where do you sign it and what type of pen do you use.

I sign mine with a Faber Castell PITT artist pen in the lower left or right side depending on the balance and colors of the photo.

I think this is going to drastically differ by your business model. House hold name? Sign it all. Work for the studio at sears, probably not.

Yes, I do sign them. On my website I offer people the option of a signature on either the front or the back of the print. I make my prints with a white border around them. If the buyer wants a front signature, I sign on the left and write the title in the center. I use a an archival Pigma Micron 02 pen, which works quite well with most photo papers.

Sakura Pigma pens work great. Yup, I sign my work.
