Fingerprint and inkjet-trace imaging using disulfur dinitride

Paul F. Kelly, Roberto S. P. King and Roger J. Mortimer

Exposure of fingerprints to S2N2 vapour results in the prints being visually imaged by polymeric (SN)x on an unprecedented range of media; in addition, the polymer forms in response to the interaction of S2N2 with traces of inkjet inks, for example the minute amounts left by the contact between printed paper and an envelope.
