Discrimination of stamp pad inks using spectroscopic methods / Zuriati Ramli

Ink analysis is an important forensic procedure that can reveal useful information about questioned documents by comparison of the inks used to produce the questioned documents. In such cases, it is necessary to apply chemical methods that normally do not cause partial destruction of the examination...
