Live Scan vs Wet Ink Fingerprinting
There are two ways fingerprint cards can be completed: Live Scan capture or traditional wet ink. Both methods can produce fingerprint cards, but some agencies require one specific method.
Live Scan Captured Fingerprints (Printed on Cards)
Live Scan uses digital technology to capture fingerprints, which can then be printed onto fingerprint cards. This method is clean, fast, and commonly accepted for many applications.
