How should I date my digital photography prints?

I am about to print a bunch of my photos for friends and family and I want to sign the photos with my initials and a date. I'm just not sure if the date should be when the photo was taken or when I printed it?
Also a side question... Is sharpie ok to sign prints with, is it archival? Is there something better to use?


Since the photos are for family and friends I would suggest that you use the date the photos were taken, because none of them will care when you had them printed. For example, if the photos are from a vacation in Jamaica in June...having a print date of February 3rd, 2011 will mean nothing to them.

As far as a signature goes, I prefer to do that with photoshop when I am editing and sizing the images. Different papers and markers may not work well together (bleeding/running/etc).
