<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also use blue ink and my notary stamp is decidedly blue. A way to determine if a signature is original or a copy is to look at the reverse side of the signature. The reverse side of the signature will have an indentation of the signature when someone signs on a soft surface or writes with a strong hand. Sometimes you can see the indentation or sometimes you can feel it with your finger. Although, this is not absolute, but may help. </DIV>
