How Do You Sign a Photo? I have sold a photo of mine, and the buyer would like me to sign the photo. What should I use to sign it with?

Sharpie® FP Permanent Marker ... or any archival-type ink if only signing the outer mat.

I prefer to use an old-style pen with black India ink. It scratches ever so slightly into the surface and makes it non-removable. It also looks very timeless and professional.

If you choose an archival ink, a good source is a frame and art supply store. In my area, Aaron Brothers is my preferred store for this.

I sign mats in pencil, and so do most professionals I know. However, if you are signing directly on the print, use a pen designed for signing photographic prints. An art or photo supply store should have those.

I use a gold pen for color photos and a silver one for black & white ones. Just make sure they have an extra-fine tip.
