Although not commonly known, indented writing on documents may provide important evidence. The document is placed on top of the instrument, covered with a plastic film and an electrostatic charge applied. A black powder is brushed onto the surface, falling into the indentations present. Once the process is completed, an adhesive film is applied to preserve the evidence obtained without causing harm to the document. |
