Authentic Signature
The Authentic Signature is a unique way to personalize many of our fingerprint keepsakes with something uniquely your loved one.
Like the fingerprint, handwriting is a one of a kind attribute that every individual has - each with its own style and message.
Most people choose their loved one's salutation such as "Love Mom" or "Love Always, xoxoxo". Whatever you prefer, you can make your fingerprint keepsake a treasured piece, cherishing the life of your loved one.
Preparing your order for an Authentic Signature
In order to process an Authentic Signature design, there are a few steps that you should take to make sure it will look great when you receive it.
Choose the handwriting you want
First find the handwriting you are looking for. Many popular suggestions include letters, notes, and birthday cards. You can also use legal documents and credit cards to get your loved one's Authentic Signature.
Digitize your document
To submit your Authentic Signature to us through our website, you will need to digitize the document. There are two very easy ways to digitize a signature; first you can use your scanner to get it into your computer; alternatively, you can use your smartphone camera to capture the image. Once you have the handwriting scanned into your computer, you can proceed to the next step.
Using your scanner
If you prefer to use your computer and scanner, simply scan in the document as a JPEG at a recommended 300 dpi. On some scanners, it may simply be listed as "High Quality" or "Photo" mode.
Using your smartphone
You can also use your smartphone to capture the handwriting. Using the built in camera, simply take a picture of the handwriting. The key is to make sure you have good lighting and that you take the picture as straight on as possible to avoid any distortions.
Using Microsoft Office Lens
Microsoft has released a program for smartphones called Microsoft Office Lens. This app is really cool because it will flatten the image for you when you take a picture ensuring that that distortions are at a minimum.
Upload to your crafted piece
All that is left to do is craft your perfect piece by uploading the image to our website. Your Authentic Signature will now be permanently engraved into your keepsake.
