Preparing at least one copy of the text in full word-for-word order is recommended when preparing standards from a suspect typewriter. This will give an accurate representation of the suspect's typing style and any unique characteristics of their typewriter's typeface. Partial copies typed with different touches may not provide a comprehensive enough sample, and examining the ribbon is not always reliable as the quality and condition of the ribbon can vary. Typing without the ribbon may also not provide an accurate representation of the suspect's typing style.
