Posted: 1/11/2013 8:18:53 PM Pens can seep through or rub off on the front of another photo if it is stacked. I learned that the hard way. I use a photo marking pencil. I've gotten them at M's and from my CM consultant.

Posted: 1/11/2013 9:32:49 PM American Crafts Slick Writer pens are perfect for this. They dry basically instantly on photo paper, don't bleed and don't smear.

Posted: 1/11/2013 10:16:42 PM There is a photo marking pen -- I think you can find it outside of CM. Just saw one called ProMaster Archival for $4.00 at Amazon.
