Coincidently, I e-mailed Marion Stahl on 9-11-08 asking about the same. And have got no reply. On 9-22, I did some research on my own and subsequently sent an e-mail to Kristie.Romer@crossmatch.com (Sales rep for several southern states) and have also still got no reply.

There is a new guy here on the forum who goes by the name (I think) "fingerprintguy". It seems like I recall seeing in one of his posts maybe mention of sales of a small portable device - but, IIRC from his few posts, even he - in the business - might not be able to afford it for a while.

I had a student out yesterday who had his prints done electronically at the Lewisville PD. There was a line on at least one of the cards that indicated something to the effect of "Cross Match", so I suspect it's the same equipment sold by the gal above - at least if she ever gets back to people!

edited to add:

In locating a file I'd started, it looks like I printed out info, on the CrossMatch Technologies "L Scan 500P". And Kristie Romer phone numbers 866-260-2763 and (cell) 561-252-0110. I just called and got her voice mail and did leave my cell number requesting a return call.

I'd also printed out web page from "fingerprint guy" of http://www.applicantfingerprintingservices.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. There is a short paragraph there to the effect of "Live Scan sales and training" and "digID mini - the world's smallest portable live scan". 817-694-7093.

another edit: ' Just got off the phone with David at number above. I suggested he might want to post here about some of the things we discussed. Bottom Line: Mucho dinero for most. Purchase by me just now would certainly be emotion over reason.
