Protocol<br />

I1 - Exam<strong>in</strong>e latent pr<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

D1 - Is it a friction sk<strong>in</strong> impression?<br />

D2 - Is there image reversal?<br />

[If a lift, what type of lift<strong>in</strong>g material was<br />

used?]<br />

D3 - Is there color reversal of the ridge details?<br />

[If YES, is the reversal total or partial?]<br />

D4 - What area of friction sk<strong>in</strong> made the latent<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>t?<br />

D5 - Determ<strong>in</strong>e pattern type or ridge flow.<br />

Figure 2.5 Flowchart. Problem-solv<strong>in</strong>g protocol and flowchart for the exam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

of a latent pr<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ger. Note that <strong>in</strong> the core of the pr<strong>in</strong>t on the left, there is a ridge end<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

whereas <strong>in</strong> the pr<strong>in</strong>t on the right, that same ridge is part of a recurv<strong>in</strong>g ridge.<br />

The exam<strong>in</strong>er can readily understand and conclude that the “apparent” dissimilarity<br />

has been caused by pressure distortion by establish<strong>in</strong>g the proper<br />

relationship of the ridges <strong>in</strong> the core to other ridge characteristics <strong>in</strong> the pr<strong>in</strong>t<br />

and by trac<strong>in</strong>g the ridges <strong>in</strong>volved with a po<strong>in</strong>ter.
