Create and Send Your Fingerprints

We've made the process of creating and sending your fingerprints as simple as possible! Follow this detailed guide to get perfect prints, ready to be transformed into a unique keepsake.

What you'll need:

  • A black ink pad

--- Step 1: Take the prints ---

1. Prepare your finger

  • Make sure the finger you will use is clean and dry.

  • Gently and evenly apply black ink to the entire surface of your fingertip.

3. Apply the print to the paper

  • On a blank section of your sheet of paper, press your finger straight down.
  • **Important:** Do not roll your finger and don't press too hard. The goal is to get clear, distinct lines.

4. Make several attempts

  • Repeat the process a few times on different areas of the paper. This will give you options to choose the best print.

--- Step 2: Photograph and crop the print ---

1. Choose the best print and photograph it

  • Select the print that has the clearest and most complete lines.
  • **Lighting:** Take the photo near a window for good natural light with no shadows.
  • **Position:** Hold your smartphone directly over the print (keeping it flat).

2. Precise cropping

  • Use your phone's photo editing app to crop the image.
  • The goal is to keep only the fingerprint itself, removing all the extra white paper around it. Crop as close as possible.
