I use Sharpies... come in many colors for contrast. Welcome to UHH!

I was wondering if Sharpies would work also. Thanks for the answer. I just hated to use somthing wrong and mess up a canvas ;-)

You can always sign the print in photoshop before sending it off to print on canvas.

Thanks for the reply - Photoshop signing might be the best answer - now I just have to get a version (I am using Capture NX2) and figure out how to do it!!

Nexus Art Pens are acid and lignin free. This way you don't have to worry about the ink affecting the print latter in years.

I use Glaze pens; they give a raised texture to the finished signature. However, I've never tried it on a canvas print; but they work great on all kinds of other substrates, like prints, wood, stone, etc.

You can get a pack of two at AC Moore, for about $2-$3.
