Background<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce its <strong>in</strong>troduction to latent pr<strong>in</strong>t exam<strong>in</strong>ers <strong>in</strong> the mid-1970s, the silver<br />

physical developer (Ag-PD) has become the standard reagent <strong>in</strong> many forensic<br />

laboratories to follow n<strong>in</strong>hydr<strong>in</strong> for visualiz<strong>in</strong>g latent pr<strong>in</strong>ts on porous<br />

evidence such as paper. 1-4 The normal process for visualiz<strong>in</strong>g latent pr<strong>in</strong>ts on
