Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the appearance of latent fingerprints on different types of paper with different various impression periods using Ninhydrin, 1,2-Indanedione, and 1,2-Indanedione followed by Ninhydrin methods. The experiment was conducted by imprinting latent fingerprints on four types of paper: 80 gsm white paper, mulberry paper, tracing paper, and cotton paper. The comparison of the effectiveness of detecting latent fingerprints on paper by special characteristics quality of the latent fingerprints was evaluated by a latent fingerprint expert, the data was analyzed through one-way analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA) to compare the quality of latent fingerprints on different types of paper at different stamping intervals. Statistics were also used to compare the means and two-way analysis of variance (Two-way ANOVA). The results of this research showed that detection using Ninhydrin provided the best quality of latent fingerprints on tracing paper. mulberry paper provided low-quality fingerprints during the time intervals of 3, 5, 7, and 14 days. The instant stamping period showed the highest Special Characteristics (Minutiae) of latent fingerprints, while the stamping period showed 14 days, and the lowest Special Characteristics (Minutiae) were shown, Therefore, the quality of latent fingerprints differed significantly at 0.05.
