Signature on a print

gdrawdy — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 19:05:21 GMT

I use a Pixma Pro 100 printer and it works flawlessly every time! However after I let the ink dry I need to sign my work before it is matted and bagged. My problem is I cant seem to use a pencil on the Luster paper. The matte paper works fine but not the Luster. But I'm not sure I like how the matte looks. Should I be using a different pencil, harder, softer, etc? Should I be using a different paper besides matte?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Glenn,

Did the General's Layout 555 pencil work for you on Luster paper? I'm used to signing traditional wet darkroom prints in pencil, but my regular pencils don't work on any of the inkjet papers I've used (including baryta-coated fiber papers).

Thanks
