The problem there is sensitivity. Children's fingerprints can be quite densely compacted and getting a clear print may be challenging to say the least. Basically I have been asked to improve on the CHIPS program for child protection.

pick up the ridges in a fingerprint? Would it show all of
the loops,
arches, and whorls, or a picture of a finger?
I was thinking of taking a conventional print first, then scanning that. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list [email protected] http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
