I usually use a pencil on mat paper or a ball point pen on gloss, ball
point pen for book signings. I took a workshop with a photographer who
recommended archival calligraphy pens. I would just avoid the gel ink
pens since they will fade fast.

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?
