Why Ink-Based Fingerprinting Still Matters

Alisha Francis • January 4, 2025

Fingerprinting is an integral part of legal processes, professional licensing, and employment verification. While technology has introduced electronic fingerprinting, there are key reasons why traditional ink-based fingerprinting remains relevant and necessary. At ANF Signings, we proudly offer professional ink-based fingerprinting services to meet your specific needs.


The Reliability of Ink-Based Prints

Ink-based fingerprinting is recognized as a precise and consistent method that many organizations trust. Unlike electronic systems that can sometimes produce unreadable scans due to technical errors, ink-based prints provide a reliable, physical record. This is especially important for documents that require submission to agencies that may not accept electronic alternatives.


Who Can Benefit from Ink-Based Fingerprinting?

Our services cater to a range of clients, including law firms that need fingerprints for cases, businesses conducting employee background checks, and individuals fulfilling requirements for professional licenses or certifications. We understand that different clients have varied needs, so our services are designed to be flexible and accommodating.


Professional and Convenient Service

ANF Signings offers both in-office and mobile services to suit your preferences. Our mobile fingerprinting option is particularly beneficial for busy professionals who need quality service on their schedule. Our trained experts ensure that your prints are captured correctly the first time, minimizing the chances of delays.


Trust ANF Signings to handle your fingerprinting needs with care, expertise, and professionalism. Contact us today to schedule your ink-based fingerprinting service and experience the dependable, high-quality support you deserve.
