Pattern Paper
The patterned paper1 enables the capture of handwriting with a digital pen. The pattern is an arrangement of microscopic dots printed on each sheet, which appear as a light gray background. The pattern is unique on each sheet and can distinguish over 70 trillion different sheets. This ensures that the appropriate handwritten information correlates to the correct sheet of paper. The pattern is captured by a digital pen that records movements over the sheet of paper.
Most ordinary paper can use the pattern technology, which is added to the document during the printing process. The pattern can be printed successfully on many types and sizes of paper including carbonless forms and pressure sensitive labels. The pattern paper can be printed on demand when and where it is needed or ahead of time in large volumes.
