Frameless image printers need a reliable, smear-proof method to sign dark-toned baryta paper mounted on ACM without damaging expensive prints.
Existing signing tools either smear on dark paper (acrylic paint, gel ink) or are untested (welder/carpenter pencils) against smearing and durability on glossy baryta prints.
