Ink Fingerprinting
Professional Ink Fingerprinting Solutions for all of your needs!
What Is Ink Fingerprinting?
Ink fingerprinting is the traditional method of collecting fingerprints that is still used for many reasons today.
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 impressions. 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 Fingerprinting Service Guarantee
We provide only the highest quality ink printing as our entire staff of Fingerprint Technicians are trained on a state and federal level and held to a higher standard of fingerprint collection.
PrintScan 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 generally due to age or various skin conditions. PrintScan will always provide an additional set of fingerprints at no cost when you provide a notice of rejection.
At PrintScan we use only the highest quality ink pads available. This 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 regulate the flow of ink, preventing fingers from becoming over-inked and causing smudging. The ink dries instantly onto the fingerprint cards, allowing your request to be submitted immediately. Best of all, the ink is easy to remove from fingertips upon completion of being fingerprinted!
