When submitting questioned handwriting documents the handwriting
expert will ask for the original document. Original documents are
always best because they provide the clearest visibility of the strokes
,pen lifts, pressure, eraser marks and other factors in the writing. Unfortunately,
very often, original documents have been destroyed or lost. The
handwriting expert can work with copies and most often must do so.
Original documents are ideal but not necessary to determine authenticity
of a writing. Be sure to provide the best copy available of the
handwriting. A scanned version is preferred over a faxed one as faxed
copies often lack strong definition. |
