It is not every day, but frequently enough that not having a printer is a pain.
- smeej 3y agoI scanned a copy of my signature probably a decade ago and have yet to find anyone who can tell the difference between my adding that to a doc and sending it back, and actually printing, signing, and scanning it back.
- dsr_ 3y agoWrite your signature. Scan it in. Apply it to documents that want signatures. To some people, this doesn't "feel right" the same way that it doesn't "feel right" that I have rolling star-base office chairs around my dining room table. They are far more comfortable than any "dining room chair" I've ever been in. In both cases, when people don't take my good advice, I shrug and move on.
- mattlondon 3y agoOk sure so use a pen or use the printer to write your signature - that doesn't change the need sometimes to go give the doctor/school/solicitor/etc a physical copy. You can keep your "good" advice, but please do move on.
- kstrauser 3y agoIn fairness, that’s different from the print/sign/scan workflow you mentioned first. I also have a printer for those rare occasions. More commonly, I copy-paste my signature image onto the digital form and send it right back.
- smeej 3y agoWhen they need a physical copy, they should be providing the physical blank.
