ESDA® works by creating an electrostatic image of indented writing, which is then visualized by the application of charge sensitive toners. The sensitive imaging process reacts to sites of microscopic damages to fibers at the surface of a document, which have been created by abrasive interaction with overlying surfaces during the act of handwriting.
ESDA®2 is designed for examining all types of documents up to A3 size and is supplied with one reel of imaging film, cascade developer, 50 toner pads, a pack of fixing film and document humidifier. Foster & Freeman are always pleased to offer advice, training or routine equipment maintenance, and ESDA®2 is just one of a range of innovative instruments available to forensic science laboratories for improving the quality of evidence.
Images of indented writing can be made permanent by the simple process of laminating the developed images with transparent self-adhesive plastic film.
As well as being simple to operate, it produces positive, life-size transparencies of indented writing without damage or contamination to original documents and without interference to other forensic tests, and documents may be processed repeatedly without loss of sensitivity.
The larger vacuum bed and wider imaging film enable documents up to A3 size (310mm x 440mm) to be processed.
This is the standard image development system for ESDA® and consists of carrier beads coated with specially formulated toner powder that becomes triboelectrically charged when in contact with the beads.
A technique that ensures a cleaner operating experience while maintaining excellent sensitivity. The Toner Pad gives the operator better control of the image development process as it can be applied to specific areas of interest. It also eliminates the need to constantly recover cascade beads.
It dispenses a fine powder cloud of toner which is attracted to the electrostatic image of any indented writing as it settles over the document. The clear acrylic hood enables the operator to monitor image development to obtain optimum results.
The new stainless steel vacuum bed is also easily replaced.

A solution for the process of receiving cash deposits. That will allow your branches to be more efficient and sophisticated, at the same time, improve your customer service and the productivity of the bank tellers. Our solution consists of two parts connected between them:
• The GFS-120 Banknote Counter
• The Cash Deposit Software.
These parts connected will bring the following benefits for your bank:
• Significantly reduce the time and eliminate errors counting money in the process of cash deposits.
• Improve the customer service reducing the time of the transaction, the queues in the branch and making the process easier for the customer.
• Tracks and controls the cash deposits around a teller desk.
• Intuitive and user-friendly design ensures the tellers become proficient users with the minimum of training and supervision.
The software is connected to the GFS-120 and will receive the quantity and amount for all denominations and the total amount. The teller only should put the money in the machine, as it was given by the customer, and press accept in the counting machine, then automatically will see all the information in the software.
Therefore, the process of counting the money that used to take some minutes, can take just seconds.
The software will automatically give you the quantity and amount for all the denominations and the total amount in numbers and in words.
While the banknote counter is processing the money, the teller will be taking the information about the cash deposit as: Name of Account Holder, Account Number, Name of Depositor, Depositor Contact. With the proper integration with your IT Department, the system will be able to receive just the account number and automatically populate the name.
The data as Date/Time, Deposit Slip Number, Bank Branch and Currency are automatically populated by the system.
After the banknote counter finish processing the money and the teller finish filling the deposit slip, a process that will take just few minutes. The teller should save the transaction and automatically the deposit slip will be printed.
This deposit slip could be customize depending on the bank requirements, with the denomination analysis, and it will be divided in two parts one for the customer and one for the branch. The customers won’t have to fill any deposit slip again.
The system automatically generates three reports to have control about the cash deposits and the money in the teller desk.
The teller can search their deposits by currency, start date, start time, end date and end time and see the deposits information as No, Date, Account Holder, Account Number and Total Amount.
The teller can search their deposits by currency, start date, start time, end date and end time and see the deposits information as No, Date, Account Holder, Account Number, Total Amount and the quantity for all the denominations.
The system will show the teller the exact quantity an amount for the different denominations and currencies.
KIBANGO™ serial number management solution enables banknote serial numbers to be read automatically when processed on a Glory device, via Optical Character Recognition (OCR). By recording banknote serial numbers, the collected data can be searched and analysed to assist in detailed banknote investigations that are becoming more frequent and routine, such as tracking banknote movements or classifying suspect banknotes.
The need to utilise banknote serial numbers for advanced analysis is ever-increasing, law enforcement agencies and bankers seek more transparency in the cash cycle. The hardware technology to read the serial numbers has brought this capability to a mass market, but a powerful analytical tool, such as KIBANGO, can ensure this data is gathered and presented in a usable form, to drive informed decision making and reporting.
Known or suspected counterfeit banknotes are registered in the hotlist which is downloaded to KIBANGO or checked online automatically. Any subsequent banknotes found with the same number can be identified by the sorter or counter and traced back to the depositor.
The sorter can be programmed to reject a banknote if the two serial numbers on a single banknote do not match, as mis-matched serial numbers may indicate a composite counterfeit.
Central Banks can save significant amounts of money by reducing the number of notes unnecessarily destroyed, by analysing their banknote data in order to better understand the durability of banknote features and substrates on a regional level.
Each banknote that is withdrawn from an ATM can be traced, therefore allowing commercial banks to be confident that only genuine banknotes are dispensed.
