Can a fingerprint be detected in hard copy?
Yes. It is possible to detect the fingerprint in scanned-in halftone printed material and other print media such as thermal dye sublimation prints in colour and monochrome. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the fingerprint can be detected in all circumstances because of the widely varying screen types, printing processes and materials used in print production. Having said that, this useful additional function can allow a great many users to monitor usage of their image material in print. Generally speaking, the higher the quality of the print and the larger the print sample, the easier it is to detect a fingerprint in hard copy. Back to Questions Section 4.
