What is customary when signing full bleed prints?
Front?
Back?
Without a Matte.

Try a search for "signing prints" on here - lots of threads talking about different ways of signing...

Ok. Thanks David. That thread is full just of opinions. It doesn't really answer if there is a customary way to sign a full bleed unbordered or unmatted print.
If a gallery was selling prints as I described above how would they sell them? I haven't came across a gallery that sells just prints.
I donated some prints for a fund raiser and the photo buyer requested a signiture. There wasn't any instruction to place it on the back or front. I signed on the front and she wanted them on the back. That is why I'm asking this question.

I think the problem is that there really isn't any standard Steve. Certain galleries may have their own preferences, but it varies widely from photog to photog, as you can see in these threads :
