You can also get this done at an Office Depot. They had me sign my name
larger than usual three times, then they took the best quality and reduced
it to a stamp that was normal signature size. I had them do it in blue ink
so it looked more like a real signature when compared to the black ink of
the letter.

I suppose you could get both forms. I went to the printer and told them I
wanted them to create my signature into a stamp. So they had me sign on an
electronic unit - sort of like the point of purchase devices at stores after
swiping a credit card. They then used the image of my original signature
to create the stamp.

I am still confused about the stamp, Ronza. Isn't a generic representation
of a signature? Or is it a stamp which is generated with a copy of your
signature as written by you.
I think that's the rout I will take.
