When a company wants to buy your print (just a print, they have it framed, matted, etc.), how do you ensure your name is there, so the visitors would know it's YOU? :scratch

    Do a white border around the print and include in small text your name and copyright and website. If its not obnoxious looking I think it works.

    you could do a watermark in the bottom corner. that would be less obtrucive. OR, you could get them to send you the matte and you sign it in the bottom right corner...

    You might consider asking them if they would like the print signed, and / or have the image printed with a white border on the bottom providing you an area to sign. Ensure you make the border large enough to accommodate both your signature and the aprox 1/8" matt overlap.

    It's a good idea, I thought of it too. Since it's them who gonna matt it, I need to know the size of borders anyway... thumb.gif
