Ink Pads
At Live Scan Santa Barbara, we use high quality ink pads for our FBI ink card fingerprints. The quality ink we use makes all the difference with fingers that may be dry or oily and have trouble picking up ink and rolling an acceptable print. It is easy to clean, and you receive an ink remover wipe to clean up with upon completion of being printed. We also have a restroom onsite to wash up.
Fingerprint Cards
The most common fingerprint cards used are the standard FBI FD-258 fingerprint card. We always have a large supply of this type, and if you do not already have your own we can supply you with what is needed. If you are not sure what kind of fingerprint card you need, feel free to call Live Scan Santa Barbara and we can point you in the right direction.
Live Scan Santa Barbara clients also have the peace of mind knowing that your FBI Ink fingerprint cards are prepared by Department of Justice and FBI certified fingerprint technicians. All FBI cards will be signed by your technician.
