How does a latent fingerprint differ from a plastic print?
What will be an ideal response?
A latent fingerprint (also called a patent fingerprint) is one that occurs when the entire pattern of whorls on the finger, which contain small amounts of grease, oil, perspiration, or dirt, for example, is transferred to an object when it is touched. A plastic fingerprint results when a finger presses against plastic material and leaves a negative impression of friction ridges.
