Have a smooth, white piece of paper ready, along with the supplied alcohol wipe to remove the ink from hands when you are finished.

The envelope your Fingerprint Kit came in is perfect, otherwise a piece of paper that doesn’t have printing on the back is also great.

STEP THREE

– Tap the ink strip once, then tap the paper multiple times.

– Avoid rolling or swiping your finger across the ink strip or paper as this will create smudged prints.

– Ensure the paper is on a hard surface. Pressing a loose piece of paper to a finger will not produce a clear fingerprint

STEP FOUR

These are clear fingerprints

These are unclear fingerprints that we unfortunately cannot work with.

There are shadows present, multiple smudges, the photo is blurry or there are not enough lines to engrave anything that will resemble a fingerprint.

STEP FIVE

– Take one photo of each print.

– Ensure you tap the screen of your phone directly over the print so the camera focuses correctly and your photos are clear.

– Zoom in to each photo to check for blurriness. We unfortunately cannot work with blurry photos. If it is blurry for you, it will be blurry for us too.
