Will this pen work well on a glossy photo guestbook?

I love this pen, however, it does not seem to be as permanent as the larger sharpie. I still have to take care when signing a glossy card for example. It still has the potential for smearing if it has not dried completely.

How resistant to UV fade are these? I need the writing to last up to a year in constant sunlight.

In the title description it says, "Acid-Free and Archival-Quality". Being a watercolorist, I use only archival quality products. My experience with the Sharpies I have bought over the years is that once they dry they are permanent. I don't believe that anything would be guaranteed as permanent (even archival products) in full sun. That being said, you'd have as good a chance with this product lasting as pretty much anything on the market. Most 'archival' items, such as the watercolor paintings I do should last 100 years - if not exposed to direct sun. Hope this will help in some way. ~~ Deb

is this pen for writing on the back of photos?

I wouldn’t. It smears on trace paper and photo paper can be slippery. It’s also uncomfortable to use.

Is this for signing fine art prints?

It is acid-free and has archival quality so it should be able to sign fine art prints, however it may not show up on certain colors since it s not as bold as regular Sharpies.
