FOSTER + FREEMAN LIMITED
Fingermarks developed on gelatin lifters using the RECOVER system
Forensic disciplines combine in new fingerprinting technique
As one of the foremost innovators within the fields of fingerprint evidence and forensic document examination, researchers at foster+freeman have plenty of combined experience when it comes to developing new technologies for the investigation of crime.
However, while it is not un-common for existing methods and techniques to be re-purposed or enhanced to improve results, it is rare that two independent forensic disciplines combine so well as is the case with the company’s latest invention – a unique gelatin fuming technique for examining fingerprints on documents.

Importantly, the technique relies on pre-existing and widely available technology and would not require extensive further training. In addition to this, the new technique can be combined in sequence with other forensic techniques such as gelatin lifting and does not destroy the fingerprint.
