Simple instructions how copy and fake fingerprints
In order to fake a fingerprint, one needs an original first. Latent fingerprints are nothing but fat
and sweat on touched items. Thus to retrieve someone elses fingerprint (in this case the
fingerprint you want to forge) one should rely on well tested forensic research methods.
Which is what's to be explained here. (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Fat residue from fingerprint
A good source of originals for our counterfeits are glasses, doorknobs and glossy paper. The
standard method of forensic research makes them visible: Sprinkling it with colored powder,
which sticks to the fat (Figure 2).

Another solution involves Cyanoacrylat, the main ingredient of superglue. A small amount
thereof is poured into a bottlecap, which is then turned upside down and put over the
fingerprint. (Figure 3).

The Cyanoacrylat gasses out and reacts with the fat residue to a solid, white substance
(Figure 4).

The further treatment involves scanning/photographing (Figure 5) and a bit of graphical
refurbishment (Figure 6).

The goal is to get an exact image of the fingerprint, for further use as mold, out of which the

dummy is made. The easiest way is to print the image on a transparency slide (the ones
normally used for an overhead projector) with a laser printer. The toner forms a relief, which
is later used similar to letter press printing. Wood glue is suitable for producing the dummy
(Figure 7)
Figure 7: Wood glue for the dummy
A small dash of glycerene may be used to optimize humidity and workability. After thorough
mixing, the dummy gets coated with a thin layer of the compound (Figure 8,9).

After the glue has dried (Figure 10), it is pulled off the foil (Figure 11) and is cut to finger size.

Theatrical glue is used to glue the dummy onto the own finger (Figure 12).
