The Difference Between Live Scan and Ink Finger Printing

• · Live scan fingerprinting is an inkless electronic process, Ink fingerprinting, on the other hand, requires ink and paper.
• · Ink fingerprinting is time-tested but can be messier and more prone to errors. Ink is also less expensive. Live scan fingerprinting offers accuracy but comes at a higher initial cost.
• · Live scan fingerprinting eliminates the need for messy and inconvenient ink cards while providing an accurate and reliable fingerprint record.
• · Using digital fingerprinting technology, Live Scan helps ensure higher image quality than traditional ink fingerprinting, minimizing errors caused by smudging or improper inking.

Disadvantages of Ink Cards Versus Live Scan Fingerprinting

Ink-rolled fingerprinting can be more difficult than digital fingerprinting, and mistakes can lead to rejection. Ink-rolled fingerprints are done by rolling your fingertips on an ink pad and pressing them onto a card. The Live scan process helps to avoid these issues, as the scanner detects the prints by rolling your fingertips on a glass plate. Live scan fingerprinting also eliminates smudging, smearing, and over or under inking, which can happen with traditional ink methods. Despite all its advantages, Live scan fingerprinting is more expensive than ink cards.
