What is Ink Fingerprinting?
Ink Fingerprint cards is the traditional method of collecting fingerprints.A person’s fingertips are rolled in ink to cover the entire fingerprint area. Then, each finger is rolled onto prepared cards from one side of the fingernail to the other. These are called rolled fingerprints. Finally, all fingers of each hand are placed down on the bottom of the card at a 45-degree angle to produce a set of plain (or flat) impressions.
Ink Fingerprint Guarantee?
We provide only the highest quality ink printing as our staff is trained by active law enforcement.At Print Scan we use high quality ink pads. The quality ink we use makes all the difference with fingers that may be dry or oily and have trouble picking up ink and rolling an acceptable print. The ink pads we use regulate the flow of ink, preventing fingers from becoming overinked and the ink dries almost instantly, helping to prevent smudged fingerprints. It is easy to clean and everyone will get an ink remover wipe to clean up with upon completion of being printed.
Print Scan strives to capture the highest quality ink fingerprints possible. However, there are instances where fingerprint cards are rejected due to low quality images. This is usually due to age or skin conditions.
