Describe the basic process used to "lift" a fingerprint. When should this procedure be used?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer should include points such as the following:
Powder is applied to the print, and the surface containing the print is covered with the adhesive side of a piece of tape. When the tape is pulled up, the powder is transferred to the tape. Then the tape is placed on a properly labeled card that provides a good background contrast with the powder.
This procedure is used when fingerprints are found on large or immovable objects.
