How Much Can a Forensic Laboratory Do to Discriminate Questioned Ink Entries?

Questioned document examiners are frequently required to determine whether the questioned ink entries on a document are written with the same ink, either for forged document identification or relative ink dating. How many methods are sufficient to discriminate potentially different inks? In this paper, 18 blue ballpoint inks were first nondestructively examined with a video spectral comparator. The ink entries were subsequently extracted with organic solvents for analysis of the volatile solvents and dyes by GC/MS, TLC, and LC‐MS/MS. The 18 ink samples were divided into 10, 9, 12, and 14 categories by these four methods, respectively. With the combined results, there were only two inks that remained indistinguishable, but they were further differentiated by microscopy. Therefore, to achieve effective discrimination of ballpoint ink entries, the authors suggest that a complete examination should include an analysis of their optical features, volatile solvents, and dyes as well as the ink quality.     

傅立叶显微红外化学成像在朱墨时序鉴定中的应用研究

目的建立朱墨时序的傅里叶显微红外成像检验方法。方法根据印文及油墨的红外光谱特征峰,使用傅立叶变换红外（FTIR）成像系统直接对纸张上印文及文字油墨进行化学成像,根据成像特征从而判断朱墨时序。结果先打印后盖章的红外成像中油墨字迹的红外成像不完整,有被印章所覆盖的痕迹,而印章的红外成像完整,在字迹中可见印章成像斑点。先盖章后打印的红外成像中油墨字迹的红外成像完整,没有被印章所覆盖,而印章的红外成像不完整,被字迹的油墨所覆盖。结论该方法较传统的鉴定方法更加快速、简单,可以更加直观的反映行文顺序,并且具有不破坏检验样本的特点。     

Evaluation of the Photodegradation of Crystal Violet upon Light Exposure by Mass Spectrometric and Spectroscopic Methods

Abstract: Crystal violet is a very common dye in ballpoint ink. Recent research suggests that the degradation of triarylmethane dyes gives an indication of the age of a ballpoint pen entry on a document. The main problem for the quantitative evaluation of the degradation is that it is highly dependent on the exposure to light. Moreover additional factors, such as additives and substrate play an important role in this process. The aim of this work is to compare the degradation pathways of the pure dye in water and ethanol upon exposure to xenon light by UV/VIS spectrophotometry and laser desorption ionization. Significant differences have been observed in the products and the kinetics of the degradation. N-demethylation, an expected decomposition process, was found to take place only in aqueous solution and kinetics calculations showed that the degradation occurred 2.5 times faster in ethanol compared to water. The degradation of crystal violet in inks from four ballpoint pens on paper was also studied for entries made over 2–3 years. It was observed that degradation reactions were quenched by the presence of another dye due to competitive absorption. It was also observed that the thickness of a stroke (concentration of ink) influenced the degradation process. In the absence of light only one ballpoint pen showed slight degradation. A better understanding of the influence of the paper, ink composition, and storage conditions is necessary to interpret correctly the age of an ink based on the degradation of dyes.

薄层色谱法鉴别黑色中性笔色痕的种类

黑色中性笔墨水主要由溶剂、色料、增稠剂、稳定剂和其他添加剂等组成,不同厂家或同厂家不同牌号中性笔墨水的成分不同,尤其是色料差别较大,这为中性笔墨水的种类鉴别提供了依据。本文利用数理统计中的均匀设计法和正交设计法安排试验,建立了一种可用于黑色中性笔色痕种类鉴别的方法:用N,N-二甲基甲酰胺作为黑色中性笔色痕的提取剂,四氢呋喃:甲醇:1,2-二氯乙烷:氯仿=30:15:5:7为展开剂的薄层色谱分析法。
