Abstract

All types of documents, whether in the form of sheets of paper, cardboard or synthetic material, or are in the form of smaller or larger booklets, whether they are identifiable, financial or advertising documents are exclusively graphic products. They are made and multiplied in printing houses by professional technological phases of work. If necessary, they are filled in and certified by defined procedures of authorized services or persons. The authenticity of any document or any graphic element in the documents can be professionally determined / expertly only by the selected most professional graduate engineers of graphic technology. No learned various educational profiles(“Self-educated graphologists”) they can’t do it because they’re not experts at it, because graphic technology is quite heterogeneous in its content and scope, and they did not mention or study it professionally during their public education. There is no graphologist profession, there was no graphological field. This was introduced into public practice by uninformed lawyers who were the first to start writing and explaining signatures in documents a long time ago.
Graphology is an unscientific procedure in assuming personality traits based on his handwriting and assuming the state of his soul. Science knows no assumption. Science knows a scientific field called overhead projection and it includes:
- determining the technological authenticity of graphic elements in documents,
- determines the relative age of graphic elements in documents,
- determines the correspondence or discrepancy of individual characteristics of the manuscript in the text, the manuscript in the signatures, the manuscript of the numbers and
- determines the identity or non-identity of graphic elements in undisputed and disputable documents.
