The effects of the surface properties of thermal paper on fingermark visualisation
… substrate with acetone, Vacuum Metal Deposition (VMD) and iodine methods were explored as potential solutions. The VMD method was selected to be used in this novel way as no solvents are required to develop marks. Iodine fuming has historically been used to develop fingermarks, and although it is …
