Ive been looking at different fingerprinting set-up. Which is a good one to go with?
I liked the one I use at my local PD, but forgot what brand it was. , it was an ink set up.
Any help.... :bigear:

Try to avoid actual fingerprint ink if you can as its harder to master and manipulate if you do not use it on a regular basis and it requires more hardware such as a platen and roller. Sirchie is the company you want to look for. Really, all you need is the PrintMatic Fingerprint Ink Pad (Catalog number PFP700). You can buy it at the Sirchie site and it should run you about $25.

The Sirchie "Stain-Less" PFP700 only requires a baby wipe to clean up. While the other ink they sell makes a better print, it requires GoJo handcleaner to clean up. Hope this helps!
