It's actually an action I created that automatically puts it into any file I wish. But the file(s) exist on a white background on my computer....

First I wrote out my signature on a piece of paper and scanned it in. In Photoshop, I cleaned up the scan by making the background completely white with the signature completely black.

Second, I put the signature on a layer and set it's opacity to about 30%.

I then created a second layer with the printed text (black). I set it's opacity to about 65%.

Then, to include it in a print, I copy the two layers into the new file and adjust the opacity and size to fit. That's all there is to it!
