How do you read a note from the impression of the pen on the page below it?
Q. What is this technique called, and is there an easy way to do it? In case the question is not clear, I want to know how you can read a note someone made by having the page below the one they wrote on. I can kind of see the impressions made by the pen, and I am sure there is a way to read it.
Asked by Zhuo Zi - Mon Feb 18 15:30:36 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Put a thin piece of tracing paper over it and run a pencil sidways over that. You should see the note appear.
