  1. I'm having a lot of trouble with your spelling and grammar.

    "ites" gave me a lot of trouble.

    You want to lift a fingerprint? Scotch transparent tape should work just fine.

    If you want to make it more visible, just get some carbon black at a hardware store and blow some of that across the print.


  2. You'd think you could just use powdered graphite or something simple, but it's actually a pretty complex mixture.

    There are 5 different types to begin with and they are

    ALUMINIUM FLAKE Powder is the most effective powder on glass, but shows similar

    performance to alternative powders on other smooth surfaces. It may still be the powder of

    choice as it is easy to apply and develops good contrast marks on most smooth surfaces.

    BRASS FLAKE Powder performs similarly to aluminium flake powder but should only be

    used on smooth, silver surfaces where aluminium would give low contrast.

    BLACK GRANULAR Powder may be used on some smooth surfaces only.

    BLACK MAGNETIC Powder is the most effective powder on any textured surface and

    u-PVC. Similar results were obtained with ‘jet black’ magnetic powder, but others (grey,

    silver etc) should be avoided as they are considerably less sensitive. White magnetic

    powder, although less sensitive, may be used on dark textured surfaces when contrast is an

    issue.

    MAGNETA FLAKE Powder is slightly less sensitive than black magnetic powder on textured

    surfaces but may offer an alternative on dark textured surfaces. It may be used on most

    smooth surfaces although application can be difficult and inconsistent.

    Alot of the manufacturers of fingerprinting dust do not readily reveal all the ingredients only those required by law unfortunately.

    These are some of the ingredients in the 5 varieties of fingerprinting powders.

    According to MSDS information, most fingerprint powders are considered to be a

    nuisance dust. There is a wide range of fingerprint-powder compositions on the

    market today; in general, they usually consist of an adhesive, a resinous polymer, and

    a color contrast.

    Some of the components that are found in fingerprint powders include, but are not

    limited to, the following:

    • Starch

    • Charcoal

    • Resin

    • Silica Gel

    • Silicon

    • Iron Oxide

    • Manganese Dioxide

    • Fluorescein (1)

    • Rhodamine B (2)

    • Pulverized Quartz

    • Manganese

    • Stoddard Solvent

    • Black Iron Oxide

    • Titanium Oxide

    • Acridine Orange

    • Nile Blue

    • Aluminum Flakes

    • Kaolin

    • Carbon Black

    • Steric Acid

    • Iron

    • Pumice

    • Calcium

    • Zinc

    • Magnesium

    • Bronze Flakes

    • Nichol

    • Lycopodium

    • Rocket Red AX Pigment

    • Acridine Yellow

    • Crystal Violet

    •Lead

    Powder formulations containing metallic components and meshed metals are considered to be toxic in general.
