The ID-PI39 is a complete fingerprint station that includes a platform, a pre-installed PI-30 ink pad, and an 8x8 cardholder, giving you everything required to take full 10-print cards at a desk or counter in one ready-to-use unit. The ID-PI10 is a 6-pack of compact 1.5-inch round pads suited for portable use, single-finger capture, or situations where a full station is impractical. If you fingerprint subjects regularly at a fixed workstation, the ID-PI39 is the more efficient choice; if you need pads for field work or travel kits, the ID-PI10 is the better option.

No special paper is required. Both the ID-PI10 and the ID-PI39 work with standard FBI-format fingerprint cards, FD-258 applicant cards, and ordinary plain paper. You do not need chemically treated paper or any proprietary consumables, which keeps your ongoing supply costs low and ensures the pads are immediately usable with cards already on hand.

Ink-based systems, like the Identicator Perfect Print, use a physical ink pad to transfer ink to the finger and then onto a card, producing permanent black impressions on standard paper without special processing. Inkless systems use a chemical transfer mechanism that requires specially treated paper or a developer sheet to reveal the print. Ink-based systems are generally simpler in setup and lower in consumable cost, while inkless systems leave virtually no residue on the fingers and produce a slightly cleaner tactile experience.

Cleanup requires no supplies. After taking prints, rub your fingertips together and the slight ink residue lifts off on its own within seconds. For faster cleanup, wipe your fingers with any dry cloth or paper towel. No solvents, pre-moistened wipes, or ink-removing cleansers are needed, which speeds up multi-subject fingerprinting sessions considerably.

Yes. Identicator Perfect Print pads are used by law enforcement agencies, federal contractors, and applicant processing services nationwide to produce prints submitted to the FBI and ATF. The ceramic micropore surface prevents over-inking, and the fast-dry formula prevents smearing; both are the leading causes of card rejection. For FBI classification, background checks, or ATF NFA paperwork, pair these pads with standard FD-258 cards for consistent, submission-ready results.
