Paper Defects

Enabling forensic investigations of paper and paper defects.

The long term stability of paper based documents such as manuscripts and artwork is influenced by the chemistry of the paper itself and also by the conditions of the environment in which the paper is stored. The method by which the paper was produced can also have an effect on its longevity. Knowledge of these processes can also help in the forensic examination of documents to determine their provenance. Precision is vital in these investigations, and our range of instruments meets the requirements for accurate analyses.

We offer a range of materials characterization tools which can assist in the characterization of ink and paper systems. Please see the links below for specific technique and product information.
