Abstract: A system electronically prepares, escrows and stores in a server cloud a digital representation of a paper document, copies of which may be modified by wet ink pen marks in different geographic locations. The wet ink pen marks are digitized and stored with the escrowed document, through use of digital devices such as digital wet ink pens. As the digitized wet ink pen marks are created, parties may view the escrowed document and digitized wet ink pen marks in near real-time in different geographic locations. After the parties finish placing wet ink marks, such as signatures on a closing document, the document may be released from escrow for printing and/or storage.
