Overview of the Identicator Precision Fingerprinting Made Easy: Identicator® Perfect Print® Fingerprint Pad 3" x 4.25" PI-30 1007744 - Quick-Drying, No-Smudge, Expert-Grade
What it is
The Identicator Perfect Print Pad is a ceramic, ink-metering pad that produces sharp, black fingerprints on any plain paper or standard fingerprint card. It is identified in your materials as PI-30 and also referenced by code 1007744. You get instant-dry impressions that resist smearing, so cards stay clean and legible during intake and hiring.
How it works
A hard ceramic surface with regulated micropores brings fresh ink to the top layer and controls application to the friction ridge detail. This design helps prevent overinking and worn spots. Residue wipes away with a cloth or by rubbing fingers together, so your station stays tidy and ready for the next person.
Why it helps
Booking teams can roll thumbs and capture four-finger slaps quickly. Livescan technicians keep the pad as a reliable card backup. HR staff can print on common office paper without special supplies. The non-toxic, hypoallergenic formula supports frequent use, and the pad resists drying even if the cover stays open during a busy shift. PI-30 capacity reaches up to 16,000 individual impressions, helping you reduce re-rolls and wasted cards while maintaining consistent quality. MPN PI-30 appears on this page for easy reference.
