With matting only being signed and probably lot of the matting replaced does anyone stamp the back of the photos with copyright notice (symbol and name). If the matting is replaced there is then no identifying marks on the print at all. Just wondering what othrs are doing to keep indentity of print.

I use a custom made stamp with my logo and fields where I can write the print's name, date etc. on the back of each sheet.

Thanks Guy and great idea and I know they have stamp ink that will not go thru on the print but what would be recomended as to ink to use on back of photo as not to bleed thru or cause problems when filling in name and date?

Good question Dennis! I have a stamp and when I stamp the back of a picture the ink never dries and smears. I'd like to know what kind of ink to use that won't damage the photo but will dry too.
