You could also just get the card holder:

And an ink pad, though I like the portability of the previous model.

I was under the impression thar a person had to be certified by the Co. Sherrif or local police to be able to take prints. If that's wrong, let me know. I wanted to include that in my classes but wasn't sure if I could do it.

let me know as well.

There is no 'certification' on doing prints , but if you go to your local PD the can 'qualify' you that you can do prints and give you a letter saying that you are qualified to do prints then you send it in to DPS and they will put you on a list of peoples that can do prints.
I can speak for myself and say it took me awhile before I found someone that would do this for me.

In class today we were told that L1 fingerprinting is likely to be mandated soon. DPS is trying to make the process as paperless as possible.

I actually built my own on the recommendation of a printing veteran and business owner.
Here is what I did.....

1) Went to Home Depot and bought a $30 toolbox
2) Bought a cedar 1x4 and sanded it down to smooth and then painted it black.
3) Purchased one of these: http://store.sirchie.com/Portable-Finge ... 7C543.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
4) Mounted the board to the top of the toolbox and the cardholder to the top of the board.

Here is what I ended up with:


The reasoning behind using the larger toolbox is to achieve height. You will get much better prints if the persons arm is at a 90 degree angle. Dunno why but the thing works well.

I actually still have the original Sirchie CFP500 that I bought but never used. I need to post it for sale I guess. :)
