Lifting

MAX Lifters will recover and preserve the MAXimum information possible with each lifter used. In cases involving latent print examination, collection of ALL areas of friction ridge skin from known parties involved is incredibly important and can also prove incredibly difficult, especially from those tips and edges of the fingers & palms.  Our Vinyl MAX Labels are ideal for the accurate collection and preservation of all areas of friction ridge skin. You can either use ink or lightly powder the entire palm and fingers with our black Peavey Powder with one of our feather dusters. Simply place the exposed adhesive side down on the fingers and work the flexible material across the area of friction ridge skin you wish to collect making contact with the entire surface.  Place your lifted print on a suitable clear backing sheet. Super bleached substrate provides for MAXimum contrast and detail. As you know, latent prints are rarely found at crime scenes looking like perfect rolled impressions. Sometimes all you get are partials or just the fingertips. MAX Lifters will offer you the entire lift to work with. The backing is back-slit for easy removal of the liner…even with gloves. Two sizes, #05772A 2’’ x 3.75’’ for fingers and #05773A 7’’ x 14’’ for palms, footprints or even shoeprints. Priced in packs of 100 for the small size, 25 for the larger. $19 and $25 for each.

This glossy ScaleLift Backing Card comes with the bonus of a ruler (in metric and inches) on the latent print side of the card. Helps ensure complete accuracy when scanning latent prints into the computer system.

Polyethylene Lifting Tape is ideal for lifting prints from curved surfaces like door knobs, light bulbs, etc. Strong but elastic, this tape film is very adaptable to textured, convex, or concave surfaces. The tape is crystal clear.
