Figure 1. Digimizer programme interface with the results of measurements of different glove impression dimensions.
Figure 2. Glove impression marks when the same gloved hand grasped objects of 6 cm (A), 4 cm (B) and 2 cm (C) in diameter.
Figure 3. A glove impression derived from a participant who wore a glove that was larger than was suitable for him.
Figure 4. A glove impression mark showing the partial ridge prints of the participant.
Figure 5. Impression marks from a gloved flat hand (A) and a gloved hand grasping an object 8 cm in diameter (B), in which well-demarcated phalangeal creases are evident in the right impression mark.
