I sign all of my Cibachrome and LightJet prints with a "paint" pen. White, black, silver, or gold. The print is then laminated with a very thin (~2 mil) UV laminate, either gloss or matt. It is difficult to tell that the laminate is there, but it makes the print cleanable. That is, you can wipe it with a damp cloth to clean off the sneeze spots. My signature is under the laminate on the print. The appropriate contrasting color for whatever print color it has to be on top of. The paint pens are nice because they have calligraphy (chisel) points. I can sign small on small prints (use the end point of the chisel) and I can sign very large on very large prints (use the flat face of the chisel).
