Capturing and persisting electronic pad/signatures

I'm about to work on a project that's hopefully going to use an electronic signature pad to capture customer's signature, display texts on the device, etc etc using C#..

Now before I start doing further research, I would like to ask for some advice/suggestion from you guys which devices I should use..

My requirements as of now is quite general : I should be able to store the image in DB, display it on the device (if possible), print/show it on the print preview (as well as in the UI)..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How does a signature capture pad work?

A signature capture pad is a device that electronically captures a person's handwritten signature on an LCD touchpad using a pen-type stylus. As a user digitally "signs" a data capture's LCD touchpad, a sensor "reads" the pressure from the tip of the stylus, transmitting signature data to a computer.

What is the purpose of signature pad?

Signature capture pads are used to obtain an electronic or digital signature that will be imported into an ID card software program. The electronic signature is added to the other credentials of a person's ID card like their name, employee information, barcode, or photo.

Normally I don't recommend a single company, but in this case, I understand the frustration of searching for good tools. Therefore, I'll just say that we use these: http://www.topazsystems.com/

and they have .NET support as well as Java and other languages: http://www.topazsystems.com/Software/download/sigplusnet.htm

Finally, if you follow the last link, there are plenty of samples and documentation for you to peruse BEFORE making a buying decision.

However, there are other vendors out there. Try googling ".NET Signature Capture"
