Options in Ink Pads
There are a couple of options in fingerprint pads. There are regular inked pads or inkless pads. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages
Regular ink pads use the traditional fingerprint ink. They are easy to use and most people who take fingerprints know how to use them. They are also inexpensive. On the downside, they are messy and without careful fingerprinting they allow for too much ink on the fingertip which leads to smudging and unusable prints.
Inkless fingerprint pads are the better type that use inkless ink. These work just like a regular pad so anyone who knows regular fingerprinting
methods will know how to use an inkless pad. They are not much more expensive than regular pads either. Additionally, they are clean.
