The article on developing latent fingerprints on plastics notes that the surface characteristics of today's plastics create obstacles in developing latent fingerprints when using conventional gold/zinc vacuum metal deposition (AU/Zn VMD). This led to the development of a new VMD process that uses aluminum (Al VMD). This article reports on a study that compared the sensitivity of each method. Al VMD was determined to be an excellent option for latent fingerprint processing for today's plastics; however, both methods tended to be less effective on aged samples. A second article describes the use of a method of developing latent fingerprints on latex gloves that proved to be useful in actual casework. The method used ninhydrin dissolved in a solution of ethyl alcohol, with heptane used as a carrier. This method was previously reported using laboratory simulations. A third article reports on a study that compared two methods being used by the Ontario Provincial Police in applying dry heat in the DFO treatment process for latent fingerprints on porous surfaces: the JUMBO 1500 Drug Mounting and Laminating Press (Seal Inc.) and the DFC200 DFO Development Control Chamber (Sirchie).
