Latent prints lifted with clear or
frosted tape are mounted on the glossy side of the latent card. The
non-glossy side is for case information and a rough sketch of the recovery
location of the latent print.
- The card may be used to accommodate a row of three or four latent
prints, thereby maintaining each print in relation to its neighbor-a
great help when trying to determine which hand, or the position of the
hand, on the object. It can also accommodate a wider width of lifting
tape.
- The latent prints can be viewed or exhibited separately from the
case data (on reverse side of card), which avoids influencing the
viewer.
- The card has sufficient space for writing the needed information,
such as the case number, date, crime type, victim, address, location of
the latent print recovery, the person lifting the latent and their badge
or identification number. It also has sufficient room for a sketch or
other remarks.
- The white cards are preprinted with a gray ink, which prevents any
of the lines or data from showing through to the other side of the card
to interfere with the photography of the latent prints.
- The Numbered backing cards can help prevent the inclusion of
fabricated latent prints by providing additional documentation.
