Advice solicited: I want to sign a print I'm selling, discretely on
the front below the image (ie in the white border). So I need a grey
or silver fine-point pen that will write indelibly on Epson Satin
Photographic 240 GSM inkjet paper.
I bought a silver Pilot Super Color Extra Fine pen yesterday and
tested on some scraps, but even after 18 hours of drying it easily
smears. I really like the look of it -- not too contrasty and bold
like a black pen would be.
Would some pencil work? I'm sure a Sharpie would work for the
indelible part, but they have too fat a tip, and I don't think grey is
available.
Seems such a simple thing: sign a print. Sigh.
What do you do?
I use a Prismacolor Premier Metallic Gold marker. They also make them in
silver.
I don't do inkjet printing anymore, but these worked when I did. They're
also good for signing C-prints (RA-4)prints.
Here's an example (of the marker):

I buy mine locally from Jerry's Artarama. I think any local artist
supply shop should have them.
