Plastic Prints

Plastic prints are fingerprints left in a material that keeps the shape of the print. A perfect plastic print could be in clay, but criminals aren’t usually dumb enough to do that. They are commonly found in melted candle wax, putty on window panes, or thick grease deposits on a car. These are apparent to the human eye, so there is no need to lift these, they only need to be photographed.
