Pens for signing prints

Good day all! I was wondering what pens folks use to sign their glossy and mat prints with and where can you purchase them. I'm not ver happy with my pens at all.
Thanks!

Quite a few photographers have recommended Sakura micron pigma pens. They're said to be archival and available at amazon and other retailers. I have them in my wishlist, but have not tried them so caveat emptor.

For the glossy papers I use a Staedtler Pigment Liner pen (you can get them at Staples). On mat prints I use a pencil.

I've been using the Sakura micron pigma pens for the past 4 years and have never had a problem.

For glossy, luster, baryta papers... another vote for the Sakura Micron pens.

For matte papers I use pencil.

I use Cop/C (COPIC0 Multiliner .25 nib. Its pigment ink, available at art supply places. works fine on lustre papers

I print only color on baryta papers (Harman and Canson) and I use the Sanford Uniball Gel Impact 1 mm, signing on the image, not the border. I use gold or silver depending on the color of the area I'm signing. It's not just the ink, it's also how it lays down a line. These pens somehow manage to make my handwriting better
