The panthelégraph received a particularly euphoric reception. However, this invention did not have a commensurate economic result, for several reasons:

-The transmission required a drawing with the special pencil on the special medium.

-The operation in Italy is abandoned and in France there are few equipped offices.

The Pantelegraph administration in France maintained a prohibitive tariff on autograph telegrams, corresponding to the long transmission time required.

The price per square centimeter limited the panthelégraph to the transmission of autograph signatures, although it could transmit any drawing.

The telegraph offered authenticated communications by a procedure of exchanging dispatch numbers with registration in a register, which made the transmission of a copy of a signature unnecessary, at a lower cost, both in transmission time and in qualified personnel.
