The Trail of Ink

All handwriting communicates, but underneath that communication is a story of behavior, deceit, illness and more.  As a handwriting expert, we look at the trail of ink. As you write, you press the pen into the paper, the ink dispenses.  Sometimes it "pools" or blobs.  Sometimes the writer eases up the pressure so the ink lifts off the paper.  How you wield your pen makes all the difference in detecting honesty or forgeries, which shows up in the trail of ink.  Under high magnification, we can compare the trail of ink in the writing samples to make sure they were written by the same writer, or not!
