Obliterations - If a portion of the text of the document has been obliterated, either by correction fluid or tape or numerous crossing strokes of a writing instrument, it is possible for the examiner to decipher what was originally entered. The attached video shows a document where the word "SAMPLE" has been obliterated by white-out. By applying a special fluid to the back of the document, the original entry, although backwards, is clearly visible.

Indented - When entries are made on a sheet of paper resting on other sheets (i.e. notebook style notepads) impressions of the writings from the top sheet will be found on the underlying pages. Examination of the questioned document may reveal indented writings such as names, telephone numbers, correspondence or other significant information that may aid the investigation. |
Charred Document - Documents that are charred or damaged to the point where the text is illegible may be deciphered with careful examination. Examples of damaged include inks that have been damaged by fluid or lightened due to age or sunlight. |
