It makes the text crisper and easier to read. I don't need to explain why that would be preferred when scanning older documents.

Yes, why settle for an original reproduction of a witness signature when we can have a NEW! DIGITIZED! version?

Crisper and easier to read is not an improvement over "true and correct."

Try: ONE AND ONLY. Once you photograph then digitize the original hard copy for storage, that's the end of the story as far as the law goes.

"They" only have to go back to a certified copy, not to the original hard copy. I suspect the original hard copies in Honolulu county are out there in the landfill
