Sirchie EZID Stainfree Footwear Impression System EZID400

Overview of the Sirchie EZID Stainfree Footwear Impression | EZID400

When a crime scene calls for quick, reliable footwear comparisons, traditional ink pads create a new problem: a mess. Cleanup takes time, ink can transfer to surfaces where it does not belong, and the whole process slows down an already time-sensitive investigation. The Sirchie EZID Stainfree Footwear Impression System (EZID400) eliminates that frustration with a fully inkless design that captures sharp, detailed shoe impressions on the spot, leaving zero visible residue on any surface the pad contacts.

How It Works

The EZID400 pairs a pre-impregnated inkless impression pad with pre-sensitized impression cards. A subject steps on the pad, then steps onto a card, and a clear, court-ready footwear impression appears instantly. No sprays, no powders, no cleanup. The reverse side of every card is pre-printed with an evidence report for recording case number, date, subject name, and other pertinent information right at the point of collection.

For forensic investigators, crime scene technicians, and law enforcement professionals, the EZID400 is a trusted companion at the crime scene and in the crime laboratory alike.

Key Features

• Inkless, Stain-Free Operation: The pre-impregnated pad leaves absolutely no visible residue on any surface it contacts. Walk away without a single drop of cleanup.
• High-Capacity Pad: The included EZID402 Inkless Impression Pad (6.75" x 16.75") yields up to 250 shoe impressions before re-sensitizing is needed.
• 200 Pre-Sensitized Impression Cards Included: Each EZID402C card (5.5" x 16.5") captures a full-sole impression with sharp detail. 200 cards come standard with the kit.
• Built-In Evidence Documentation: Every impression card is pre-printed on the reverse side with a structured evidence report, supporting proper chain-of-custody documentation.
• Instant Results, No Processing Required: Impressions appear on contact. There is no drying time, no chemical developer, and no waiting.
• Captures Fine Wear Detail: The system records even the subtlest wear patterns and tread features on a sole, providing reliable data for forensic comparison.
• Portable Polypropylene Carrying Case: The included KCP212 carrying case (17.5" x 7.75" x 2.5") organizes the pad and cards in a durable molded case that is easy to transport to any scene or lab.
• Re-Sensitizable Pad: When the pad's sensitivity decreases after heavy use, Sirchie's EZID403 Shoe Impression Rejuvenator Ink (0.5 oz., sold separately) restores it for continued service.
• Export Restricted: This product is subject to Sirchie's export restrictions and is intended for domestic U.S. use.

Specifications

Compatibility

The Sirchie EZID400 is compatible with virtually all adult and youth shoe and boot sizes. The 5.5" x 16.5" impression cards accommodate footwear up to and including large work boots, making the system suitable for a broad range of subjects.

Compatible Accessories and Refills

• EZID402C Preprinted Inkless Shoe Impression Cards (200/pack): The impression cards included in this kit are also available as a standalone refill when the initial 200-card pack is exhausted.

Not Intended For

The EZID400 captures two-dimensional flat-surface impressions from shoe soles. It is not designed to capture impressions from outdoor terrain surfaces such as mud, sand, or snow. For three-dimensional outdoor impressions, Sirchie casting compounds such as dental stone, plaster, or silicone are the appropriate tools.

Intended Users

The Sirchie EZID400 is designed for professionals who collect, compare, and document footwear evidence as part of routine investigative work.

Forensic Investigators and Crime Lab Technicians rely on the EZID400 to capture elimination prints quickly and accurately in controlled lab settings or at the scene. The built-in evidence report on every card supports proper documentation without extra paperwork.

Law Enforcement Officers and Detectives use the system during suspect processing to create comparison prints that can be matched against footwear impressions collected at a crime scene. The inkless design keeps the booking or processing area clean and professional.

Crime Scene Units and Forensic Field Teams appreciate how the EZID400 packs into a compact polypropylene case that travels easily to any location. When time is critical and cleanliness matters, the stain-free operation keeps the workflow moving.

Training Programs and Law Enforcement Academies that teach forensic evidence collection use the EZID400 to demonstrate proper footwear impression procedures and chain-of-custody documentation in realistic, hands-on exercises.
