  I'm working on a print piece where I want a signature at the bottom of the page to look like it was really signed by hand. What can I do to mimic a real pen writing on paper? Thx!

  Scan signature and print it in a deep navy blue.

  • Thanks, this is what I was thinking as well.– mtgentry

  use a ball point pen to do the signature that you'll scan. You'll have inconsistencies in line weight/color - this will add to its authenticity. If the signature is particularly swooshy - this effect will be amplified.

  Its either going to look like a script font or an actual signature.

  You could try using a graphics tablet and illy to make a vector of the handwriting.

  Just to be more clear, in terms of printing what can be done?

  You know when you get a letter from a politician in the mail and its hard to tell whether they signed it by hand or not? The ink in the signature bleeds into the paper more than normal - like they really signed it. I want to do that.

  I thought you were going to ask how to forge a signature. This thread is extremely disappointing.

  when ink doesn't run from a smudge of our finger its pretty much a telltale sign that it's fake, no emboss or high res scan is going to change that

  • v3 checks all signatures for authenticity. no fooling him.– skt1/2

    good point.– mtgentry2/2
