Thanks again for choosing the Abbott Lyon Uniquely Yours Fingerprint Necklace.
Here are a few tips on how to get the best fingerprint image:
1. Open the wipe, and swipe across your chosen finger or thumb.
2. Press directly downwards: gently press your finger directly downwards onto the paper without rolling or moving it (unlike what you see on TV, rolling causes smudges!). Your prints will appear and darken over a few minutes.
3. Make a series of prints: After one swipe with the wipe, try making a row of prints. You'll get a variety of images with different darkness levels and you'll be able to pick the best image.
4. Keep printing! Re-swipe the wipe and take more images so that you can choose the print with the best clarity.
5. Wash your hands with soapy water when finished.
6. Take a photo of your clearest print in natural lighting without shadows. You can only upload one photo. Make sure the image is crisp and clear to get the best engraving.
Little fingers need a gentle touch: for little ones, press their finger very gently on the paper. Their tiny ridges can blur easily! You might also get a clearer print from a different part of their finger, like further down.
Don’t throw away your kit until we have approved your image.
