      • Defects from physical damage
    • Dot Matrix Printers
      • Becoming obsolete
      • Pins impact into inked ribbon
      • Individual dots not always visible under microscope
      • Stepping on diagonals
      • Impressions on paper from physical impact
    • Inkjet Printers
      • Liquid ink ejected from nozzle
      • Characters formed by series of over lapping dots
      • Colours mixed from these colours
        • C (Cyan)

    • Laser Printing/ Photocoping
      • Method

        • Damage to drum
          • Chips and dirt on glass
    • Pens
      • Ballpoint
        • Striations, rapid movements, lower ink density on parts of ink line
      • Roller Ball Pen
        • Ink density greater and more uniform
      • Fibre tip pen
        • Variable ink density especially on the up stroke. Rapid movement- width variation
      • Fountain pen
        • Diffusion of ink seen under microscope
      • Pencil
        • Not commonly encountered in document analysis
        • Irregularities in surface of the paper-dry writing method
