According to criminal investigators, fingerprints follow 3 fundamental principles, except:
A fingerprint is an individual characteristic; no two people have been found with the exact same fingerprint pattern.
A fingerprint pattern will remain unchanged for the life of an individual; however, the print itself may change due to permanent scars and skin diseases.
Fingerprints can let an investigator determine the race of the individual they are seeking.
Fingerprints have general characteristic ridge patterns that allow them to be systematically identified.

actual indentations left in some soft materials such as clay, putty, wax, or dust.
Patent fingerprints are...
visible prints left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid comes into contact with the hands and is then transferred to the surface.
invisible prints left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid comes into contact with the hands and is then transferred to the surface.
visible prints left on a porous surface
invisible prints that must found with magnetic powder
Latent fingerprints are...
fingerprints that are visible to the naked eye and caused by the transfer of oils and other bodily secretions onto a surface.
fingerprints that are left behind in blood.
fingerprints that have been smeared and are no longer readable.
fingerprints that are invisible to the naked eye and caused by the transfer of oils and other bodily secretions onto a surface. They can be made visible by various different methods.
Fingerprinting and DNA fingerprinting are used to identify people because both are unique to individuals.
