Identicator Digit 10 Fingerprint Unit

This inkless fingerprint system is designed to make booking applicant fingerprinting clean and easy. Lightweight, compact and portable, the unit fits in any standard briefcase. Everything is built-in, including a card holder and a recessed slot for the finger pad. All you need to develop quality fingerprints.

The Digit 10® works with any standard fingerprint card. Special high-quality cards are available to produce high-quality, darker and clearer impressions, which can be benificial when scanning into an AFIS system. However, they are not required. Prints are acceptable to the FBI for classification, search, and retention. Simply roll the fingers on the chemically-treated pad, then roll the fingers on the fingerprint card to leave dark, red prints. Place the cards in the Digit 10® unit to process them. Approximately 40 seconds later, rich, black fingerprints will develop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does the system work?
A. It is a simple two-step process. You first coat the finger by rolling it on the finger pad and then onto the card in the appropriate square. Thereafter, the card is placed in the development chamber, print side down on the pale yellow developer sheet, and the "start" button is depressed.

Q. How much time does the development cycle take?
A. On average, less than 45 seconds.

Q. Do I have to wait for the light to go off before I start printing the next person?
A. No. No time need be wasted as you can begin printing the next individual as soon as the first card is placed in the unit for development.

Q. After the fingerprint card is rolled, how long can I delay before the card must be developed in the development chamber?
A. We recommend that the card be developed immediately.

Q. How do I know when to replace the finger pad?
A. When the image of the rolled finger is very pale and the ridge lines are broken or uneven.

Q. How do I know when to replace the developer sheet?
A. When the card is removed from the development chamber and underdeveloped prints have retained some of their original color.

Q. Can I use any fingerprint card?
A. Yes, the Digit-10 and IdentaPrint units will develop permanent black prints on any paper.

Q. Can I correct a smudged or smeared print or do I have to redo the whole card?
A. Yes. You can correct an unacceptable print through the use of ReTabs, an approved, pressure sensitive corrective label.

Q. Can I improve image quality with people who have dry skin?
A. Yes, by using a PrePrint towelette. It will help prepare fingers whether wet or dry, to develop clearer prints.

Q. How about people with excessive moisture on their fingers?
A. It is always a good idea to have an individual wash and dry his/her hands thoroughly before printing. Then use a PrePrint towelette. If excessive moisture persists, wipe each finger with a towel just prior to rolling the finger on the coating pad.

Q. Does the finger coating pad need any maintenance?
A. You may use a lint-free towel and gently blot the pad surface, to remove any dust or foreign objects that may have accumulated.

Q. Does the unit need any maintenance?
A. No, you merely need to replace the pad and developer insert when exhausted.

Q. Is there any warranty?
A. Yes, for 90 days. However, a special extended warranty is available for an additional five years at a cost of $140.00

Q. Are the prints acceptable to the FBI?
A. Yes. In fact, the FBI and many state agencies are using our inkless, plain paper systems.

Q. Is the material toxic?

Q. How does the Digit-10 work with the AFIS systems?
