Follow the steps below and place your screenshots in each step section.
Step 1: Open Concepts App
Open the Concepts app on your tablet.
The software will automatically create a blank canvas for you.
Step 2: Switch to Line Mode (Wire Tool)
We are only creating a signature, so choose the “Wire” tool.
This allows you to create clean strokes ideal for signature writing.
Step 3: Choose Pen Thickness
Adjust the pen size to match your preferred signature look.
A slightly thinner stroke often looks more elegant for digital signatures.
Step 4: Adjust Smoothing
Adjust the stroke smoothing setting.
To keep handwriting natural, we recommend keeping smoothing under 10% for the best real-pen writing effect.
Step 5: Create Your Signature
Now, use your stylus to hand-draw your signature.
Take your time to draw naturally and smoothly—this version will be used by the iDraw H SE Pen Plotters to reproduce your handwriting.
Step 6: Export Signature as SVG
Once you're satisfied with the signature:
Tap the Export button (top-right)
Select SVG format
This format keeps the signature vector-sharp for plotting.
Step 7: Transfer the File to Your Computer
Save the exported SVG file to your tablet storage
→ then copy it to your computer.
Step 8: Open SVG in Inkscape
Open the signature SVG file in Inkscape.
Then adjust the canvas/background size to standard signature dimensions.
Tip: Keep the signature proportion natural — not too big, not too small
Step 9: Resize Signature on the Page
Scale the signature so it fits nicely inside the adjusted background/canvas.
This ensures the writing machine prints it cleanly.
Step 10: Load Paper and Position Pen on iDraw H SE Pen Plotters
Place your document under the pen
Install your ink pen into the holder
Move the pen holder to the signature location on the paper
Prepare your document line or signature space where the signature should be placed.
Step 11: Start Signature Writing
In Inkscape:
Go to Extensions > iDraw H SE Control > Apply
The iDraw H SE Pen Plotters will begin writing automatically
Watch your signature appear in real handwriting — perfectly smooth and consistent!
Step 12: Signature Completed
Your signature is now beautifully written on the document with a real pen.
Professional, elegant, and 100% in your handwriting.
Your signature has now been written beautifully by the iDraw H SE Pen Plotters with a real pen — smooth, natural, and uniquely yours.
