Signature pads are essential tools in today’s digital world. They are used to capture electronic signatures, which can be added to digital documents, enhancing the efficiency and security of transactions. Choosing the right signature pad for your needs can be as simple as knowing which questions to ask before you buy.
The first thing to consider is whether you need to see your signature on the pad while signing. If so, an LCD display or backlit-LCD model is advised. If not, a non-LCD model, which is less expensive, will be sufficient.
The size of the signature capture area is another important factor. If you only need to capture a signature on the pad, a 1" x 5" sized model is advised. Any model with a display panel of 1" x 5" or larger is recommended.
If you need to push text and/or graphics to the signature pad for display, a larger sized LCD model is advised (4" x 3" mono or color, 4" x 5" or 5" x 7" color). If not, a standard size LCD model is recommended.
The volume of signatures you expect to capture daily is another consideration. If you will have low signing volume (under 25 signatures per day, per signature pad), a SigLite signature capture pad model will suffice. If you will have higher signing volumes, a SigGem model is recommended.
Consider the conditions under which the signature pad will be used. If the signature pads will receive excessive use or be exposed to rough treatment, a SigGem model is advised. Otherwise, a SigLite model is recommended.
Choosing the right signature pad involves considering several factors, including the need for a display, the size of the signature capture area, the ability to display text and graphics, the volume of signatures, and the usage conditions. By carefully considering these factors, you can select a signature pad that best meets your needs and enhances the efficiency and security of your transactions.
Remember, the right signature pad for you depends on your specific needs and circumstances. It’s always a good idea to do thorough research and consider all options before making a decision
