LATENT FINGERMARK EVIDENCE
BlindSite can recover high quality latent fingermarks from hundreds of different porous and non-porous surfaces without any prior physical or chemical enhancements needed, including electronics, mobile phones, metals, plastics, glass, household fixtures & fittings, and many others
In-built AFIS for quality determination and rapid exemplar database comparison

Non-contact non-destructive, removing human error associated with current physical and chemical fingermark techniques
Smytec have performed validation & verification testing against common fingerprint retrieval powders, with assistance from fingerprint examiners from Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. BlindSite greatly outperforms fingerprint powders:
To corroborate these results, Smytec performed an AFIS-validation study which found that 96% of fingermarks recovered with BlindSite provided a “match”
