Digital imaging and processing are shown to open new methods of paper research. Early Baltic printed books are the examples in Revealing Watermarks, which also describes how to enhance security, by creating and archiving a digital ‘fingerprint’. Thus thefts are deterred and stolen items can be uniquely identified for return.
