Abstract

Nowadays, one of the most interesting problems in examination of questioned documents is the identification of toners for photocopy. Many different methods have been used for this purpose. In the present work infrared microspectroscopy (MK-FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX) were applied for differentiation among back toner powders and particles of toners taken from the printed line.
