Abstract
This research was conducted to test whether adding moisture directly to cascade developer beads would improve Electrostatic Detection Apparatus (ESDA) results. The ESDA was used to detect latent indented impressions on 100 sheets of paper containing indentations. Fifty sheets were processed according to the ESDA manual instructions. Fifty sheets were processed with an additional step. The cascade developer beads were misted with a plant mist sprayer before being dispensed on the document. Results showed improved visualized indentations with the misting method of developing electrostatic images with ESDA.
