Abstract

The evidence illustrating a fluid ink line was made after a tear, perforation or cut edge in the paper is usually distinctive. If examined carefully and with an open mind, it is very unlikely to be misinterpreted or to be mistaken for evidence of a change in an ink line resulting from some other cause. Since evidence is usually much more distinct showing an ink line was made after a tear or cut edge in paper as compared to a fold in paper, the basis for one to conclude an ink was written before a tear or cut edge (as compared with a fold in paper) in most instances is stronger.
